This ABC article stood out to me. And this quote in particular.



"I think I just heard Ronald Reagan speaking," said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. "We just heard tonight a great deal of common sense."

I don't know who is coordinating all of this friendly media coverage for Rand but I keep having to pinch myself to confirm I'm not dreaming. It is incredible to see someone so similarly aligned with us here have a legitimate shot at 2016, I still can't quite believe it…

This is a speech that I wish Ron would have given in 2012. At this point, if you don't win in politics it doesn't matter how inherently good our ideas are. The liberty movement needs to be about winning, and my one criticism of Ron (besides his suit) was that he didn't want to soften his message to broaden his appeal. Rand hit every note perfectly, and even though he will never be the original Dr. Paul, he has an opportunity to bring Ron's message to mainstream America like he was never able to…I could break the entire thing down but I'd rather have everyone discuss their favorite parts/messages/one-liners. Whoever is writing his speeches and conducting polling on his messaging needs a raise, YESTERDAY!

Here is a rather even-handed article.

the Homeland has a new czar, an Ebola czar. who is of course a Lawyer.

Rand is playing ball in a difficult environment.
