They always ask about 2016. As much as FOX seems to want it, when the time comes I just don't see Rand breaking the news on FNC. I wonder in what setting he will actually announce. Maybe a press conference, youtube video, or at a speech at a certain strategic event?

I'd expect an announcement in 11-15 months. I could see him making an announcement in Kentucky or somewhere that typically votes liberal like California.

Hey, he announced his run for Senate on Maddow. I predict he'll make peace with her by announcing on her show. :)

Don't think so, but I could see him picking another liberal venue.
I could see him doing something totally badass like going back to Howard University to announce.

Matt, was it really necessary to bump so many old threads on the same topic?

And do you not know how to google?

If you're going to bump old threads, at least bump it with the newest info instead of a lame question asked on three+ zombie threads. Would have been more considerate to post the link to roll call instead of asking others to do the work, which you already knew.
