From the article:

You can’t spell Strand without Rand.

That was the message from Rand Paul’s presidential campaign in New York City on Tuesday night, when the libertarian candidate promoted his new book at the Strand, an independent bookstore at the epicenter of liberal Manhattan.

It wasn’t the typical site for a Republican presidential candidate’s event — and many of the people who crammed into the rare books room on the store’s third floor were quick to volunteer that they had come to see Mr. Paul, not because they were Republicans, but because they loved liberty.
