Mcclatchy/Marist Poll - Rand 5%

Well that is cool.

I don't think it will be wise for him to attack Rubio, but everything about his rhetoric recently points to that he will. I'd rather he not single anyone out. Just attack Hillary and her foreign policy, feel free to compare it to neocons but if you start singling people out, voters will come to their defense.

If you think about it, he's kind of doing that. Matthews kept pressing him about Rubio and he focused on Hilary. Matthews looked pretty pleased with himself .

Time for Carly to drop out. She had her 15 minutes...

This is a nice respectable showing for Rand, however-- hopefully he can latch onto this 4-5% we've seen in the last couple polls and build on it, rather than teeter back down to 2% again as he did after his last uptick a few weeks ago.

the 2% numbers were flawed polling. they were outliers. the real numbers are between 4-6% over the last month which is a doubling from the low point of the campaign one month ago where he actually was polling 2%. double one more time and we're in third or fourth place

Carson is drawing people away from Rand. I ran into someone this past weekend who had a Carson sticker on his truck. I said I supported Rand Paul and he said, oh, I love Rand, and his father, but he doesn't have a chance (based on the polls). I said that it was too early to believe the polls, half of the people are undecided but forced to make a choice so obviously they pick someone that is getting the press. But, you see, the press has accomplished its mission with Rand, convince people he is not worth supporting. That's the power of the media. They are now attacking Carson....so sad the state of the "free" press...
