Frank Luntz cites Rand Paul as the model Republican on Hannity?

[Brian4Liberty]

Did anyone catch a bit of Hannity today? He was talking to Frank Luntz, and Hannity was asking Luntz which new, young, popular GOP politicians should the GOP emulate or follow. Hannity named a list of the usual teo-cons, including Rubio (glaringly not naming Rand), and Luntz said we need straight talk on the important issues like we get from Rand Paul.

Not saying that Luntz is a big supporter, but he sure is recognizing success, even when Hannity was prompting him to go in a different direction. Who knows if that was completely scripted or not. It was interesting, although in the end, Luntz is a marketing person, which has nothing to do with truth or conviction from candidates.

Edit: Found a Tube. Straight from the horse mouth. Starts getting to the Rand topic around 4-5 minute mark:

I remember during the Senate races, Luntz analyzed Rand's message as being the most effective of all the Tea Party candidates.

Rubio reminds me of something out of the Stepford Wives movies (and no I didn't actually watch that movie just commercials)

That might have been what he was referring to.

Rubio is a hardcore neocon

Yep. His complete silence on budget/fiscal issues, and outspoken war-mongering and has moved him from "teocon" to pure neocon...

Hannity couldn't even bring up Rand's name out of 7 or 8 notables. He's hopeless.

Good old Luntz. You can live it, or you can just mouth it, but it's still the message that works.

He's right. Been a long time getting it heard.

Yea, pretty much, "We need to copy Rand Paul's message if we're going to be taken seriously."

Good to hear, but bad to know that most won't walk the walk.

But he moans the name Marco in his sleep now... ;)

I would like to begin with a "Fuck you Frank"

But with that out of the way he is right to the point of that will get someone elected but without walking the walk you are only poisoning the well for the future much like bush did for people who call themselves conservatives.

I agree we need a clear message but we cannot only be words.

"Government is the servant, not the master." That was a good line. I'd like to hear that one repeated a bunch more between now and nov 2012.

[Sola_Fide]

Remember this one?

A little bit defensive on that movie :D

[acptulsa]

I tend to read Luntz's message a little deeper.

The American people have had enough of #@$%&<+ war.

[Matt Collins]

I'm pretty sure this is the ad Frank is talking aboutDid Rand's campaign hire Luntz? Or did Luntz' organization just test this ad on their own accord just to see what the results were?

OR

Did the NRSC / Trey team hire Luntz to test this ad?

Why don't you give your buddy Frank a call and find out? If you don't know his number, I'm sure you can get in touch with that dear friend of yours, Judge Andrew Napolitano, to get it.

[Tonewah]

Yeah, Satan can compliment me all he wants, but I'm still not going to listen to him.
