From the Washington Post article I found Prof. Block's comments fascinating:
Read more:"If I were Ron, and my son were running for president, and we were in the same situation, I would shut up,” said Walter Block, an economics professor at Loyola University in New Orleans. He rated Ron Paul a 98 on his personal scale of libertarianism and Rand Paul a 70, and said he supported them both.
“Ron is a millstone around Rand’s neck, in the sense that he’s not helping him — or, at least, he’s not helping him be Rand,” Block said. “Because Rand is a compromiser, and Ron and ‘compromise’ don’t belong in the same sentence.”

Since Prof. Block supports Rand Paul I wonder how other hardcore libertarians will and his scorecard rating of 70 is interesting too... I wonder what other politicians rate highly on the scorecard and whether Block supports Rand because of the rating or because of deference to his father
