Pretty interesting read.

Before Ted Kennedy and his son, the last father/son Congressional team to SIMULTANEOUSLY serve was prior to the Civil War!

also, the author's comparison of Ron's votes to Rand's votes is kind of dumb. Presidential primary turn-out for a state other than Iowa, NH, or South Carolina would be drastically lower than a contentious Senate race

Ron's was a primary and Rand's a general. Independents and Dems couldn't vote for Ron, and had many other choices.

Comparisons at all are dumb, the movement is growing and Ron's support was a big part of Rand's success.
