In many ways, this will finally end the misguided statements that some have said that Rand Paul is actually a Libertarian (capital L) as now we have someone who actually is a Libertarian leave the campaign because Rand Paul isn't.
Rand has said himself that he is a Constitutional Conservative. Not someone who wants to have as little government as possible, but someone who wants to have a government that actually follows the Constitution, especially the 10th Amendment (which, although it is not as little government as possible, is certainly a lot less federal government than we have now). This is what all Republicans should be.
Even though Rand Paul is not a pure Libertarian, I am certain that he is closer to the libertarian ideals than Sonny Landham ever was. I would like to know if Gillespie supported Landham (prior to the latter announcing that we should kill all the people of Saudi Arabia, of course). I hope that Gillespie will realize that Rand Paul is the best possible person for the U.S. Senate and will support him.
