FRANKLIN, Tenn. (AP) - A potential Republican presidential candidate is headlining Tennessee state Sen. Jack Johnson's annual summer barbeque in Franklin.

U.S. Senator Rand Paul, of Bowling Green, Ky., is scheduled to attend the fundraiser at the Factory in Franklin on July 28. Several hundred people have attended the event in years past. Tickets are $50.

Johnson is the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee and a prominent fundraiser in the Tennessee General Assembly.

Tennessee Republicans have not voted for the eventual presidential nominee in the primary since giving the nod to President George W. Bush in 2004.

In 2008, the Tennessee GOP primary was won by former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee over U.S. Senator John McCain, and in 2012 Republicans voted for former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum over former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.

Hopefully another chance to make inroads with state Republican parties and spread the rhetoric.

That's got to be unnerving for the likes of Lamar Alexander to have Rand creeping around the shadows in TN raising money and making allies beholden to him.:cool:

This sort of thing helps us with the party fundraising issues since taking over some state organizations. Rand is proving to be a great fundraiser himself because we and non-Ron supporters show up to see him.

It will probably be easier for us to get more positions of influence in the GOP during Rand's campaign since he is seen as less of an intruder than Ron - not to mention we already have several "on the inside" who will be helping hold the door open for more liberty advocates.
