36% favorable - http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/elections/kentucky/2014/07/28/mcconnell-leads-grimes-bluegrass-poll/13292787/ More underwater favorables (Rand seems much more popular in the state anyway) -...

Seems to me like McConnell must be pretty unpopular in Kentucky if he's tied with a Democrat when Obama's approval is 20 points upside down

Do you think it wold help Hillary to have Reid stumping for her? I think it would be better if McConnell helped Rand with fundraising but not necessarily campaigning

Do we want McConnell stumping for Rand in the general...?

This is a proven failed strategy and Republicans need to abandon it yesterday.

+ Supreme Court picks

Seems like we have the same map

Here is an example of what I think could be a possible Paul map: http://www.270towin.com/2016_election_predictions.php?mapid=bHtO Best-case scenario: http://www.270towin.com/2016_election_predictions.php?mapid=bHtQ

Hasn't MN been at least relatively close recently? I think Paul as a candidate can put a lot of unconventional 1992-2012 states back in play. The YouGov numbers give him very high favorables in the Midwest and West, and I think especially in the west (Oregon/Washington) Paul can put some of...

Well I'm not necessarily saying NJ will be in play but if Paul contests PA through the philly market, the dems might have to at least defend NJ. Especially if Christie plays a good republican and campaigns for Paul there.

Pennsylvania may be a huge opportunity uniquely for Paul if he can cut into Philly margins. May be able to put NJ in play too if he advertises heavily in the Philly media market

Add Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington for Paul IMO

I'd rather not lock it up. How about kicking them out of the party. Look at the poll that says 22% of all Americans (either party) are hawks, with 67% non-interventionists. Rand is doing the best against Hillary right now for a reason.

First thing that came to my mind was "No, but I still support him" and didn't see it

There's no reason to pick a hawk for VP. Rand will be more conservative than Romney or McCain and therefore already have the base locked up. Picking a hawk would be worse with Independents and Democrats, not better.
