This is going too well. I'm nervous. Surely we havven't called the credibility of the media beast into sufficient question to tame them already. Have we?

They Who Must Not Be Named seem to be out of the closet. Pauls, public and proud! What's next?

I would really hope Rand waits until 2016. It will give him enough time to establish a track record and build a following, plus he wouldn't be running against a popular incumbent Democrat.

I'd support Rand Paul definitely. He sells the message much better than Ron does IMO. I think Rand's budget bills show that he actually does have a tangible plan to reduce spending, so when he's asked what he'll cut, he actually has something to point to. Ron, as much as I love him, is more idealogical and less pragmatic. I feel like Rand really has a vision of what needs to be done and how to go about doing it.

Ron is very pragmatic and a bunch of Rand's pragmatic steps are directly from what Ron said he would do as 'next steps' if president. It is just that what Ron prefers to discuss is the liberty message as a pure philosophy and you have to kind of ground him into discussing what he'd do next to move us into that direction.
