The article (click here (http://www.eagletribune.com/punewsnh/local_story_308093936?keyword=topstory+page=1) for the full piece) talks about family and the various campaigns, here is the excerpt about Paul:



Dr. Rand Paul, son of Republican Ron Paul, said his dad has been an underdog throughout his political career, but has relied on family to pull off upsets. Paul is a 10-term Texas Congressman. He also ran for president in 1988 as a Libertarian.

"We're in a battle for name recognition, but we really think we have a chance," he said.

Rand, who started ringing door bells for his father at age 10, said a big family can get the vote out the old-fashioned way, and he hopes the family formula will work its magic again in New Hampshire. Paul has five children and 18 grandchildren, plus an extended family, and 30 relatives made the trip from Texas to rally voters in Manchester in September.

Ha ha ha! I LOVE this article when it phrases Romney's name-recognition issue IN TERMS OF Paul's!
"Romney's oldest son, Tagg, 37, said name recognition has been the biggest stumbling block for his father, too."

But Mrs. Fred made a bad mistake not calling back a newspaper that is essentially in New Hampshire.
