Good article.

I'd like to see him run for president in 2016, but he would also be up for reelection in the senate that year so it might be too difficult to run two campaigns.

He might have cleaned house by 2014. He will be ready to clean the USA by then.

Let's get him the GOP primary for Senate first. That's going to be difficult enough.

i doubt he would want to run for president

That's all right, Ron didn't either. And Rand already happens to have a staffer who encourages him to get things done, like Ron did...

Exactly, and that's what I say in the first line of my blog. But like I said, can't I have a little fun thinking of the possibilities? But I agree: issue #1 has got to be getting him to be the nominee then into the Senate.

This Senate race will be the most important entity that this movement has. If Rand loses, especially in the Republican Primary, that will be a humongous hit to this movement for a wide variety of reasons. We should be throwing all of our support behind Rand, because if he fails, that moves us that much closer to collapsing.

I agree it's the most important race but as for the movement "collapsing" I don't agree. Personally I'll question supporting a specific political candidate (especially in a place like Kentucky) in the future but there still will be Campaign for Liberty and even politically Ron Paul will still have his House seat.

I agree it's important but I don't want people to think "this is it" and be disheartened by one political race in a tough political terrain. I also have some ideas-- regardless of the outcome-- that I think would better serve the cause than a Senate seat. But for right now I agree this is the most important priority and could very well lead to Paul 2020.

It will be more like the collapse of the country. If we have no one to rally around, we may very well be in trouble when it comes to recruiting new people. Dr. Paul won't have hit seat forever. He has around 7 more terms in him, max. I can't see him being a 90 year old Congressman.

While it may not be that extreme, it will be 10 times better going forward if Rand wins than if he loses in the primary. What is more important than a Senate seat besides the Presidency?

Thats why this movement should be 100% united behind Rand. I was shocked to see so many hostile comments about him recently.

 

[TheTyke]

That's why I've been so frustrated with all of this. This is HUGE. The biggest race in decades. And we're leading! But we will need continued enthusiasm and monetary support to put it away.

 

[WorldonaString]

Agreed. Lets get Rand in the senate and then we can all debate his votes. First things first. We should be thrilled with Rands campaign and the fact that he is now polling as a frontrunner.

we aint got that much time...2012 may be America's last election...

after that, the demographics with all the illegals included will guarantee a left wing dictator for life.

If a leftist can get the usual 70% Hispanic vote + 95% black vote + 65% government worker vote ...+ 80% jewish vote + 100% of the deceased vote and 100% of the repeat vote(via ACORN)......he will only need about 30% of the remaining white vote to win nationwide..

as older whites die out and brainwashed high school kids replace them, even the white vote will move leftward...

our only hope is that an economic crash will wake people of all races up to the globalist enemy that will swallow us all

an eye doctor running for President in 2020....

Interfamily squabble...thats all..

..in the end we'll kiss, make up...and go full throttle for rand

I agree with those who feel this race is HUGE. This is for a seat in the United States Senate. That is a six years of national exposure and ability to get the message out...and I think Rand will do an awesome job! Look how tireless he has been on the campaign trail! And I think once people see someone like him...it may help this cause of other liberty minded candidates.

Rand Paul is so electable, so real, great family, can deliver the message in such a way that it does not scare the uninitiated, in a sensible State (Kentucky), and at a critical time in history. Folks, I don't think we have many election cycles to turn this thing around. This is a big one.

I have sent Rand hostile and critical messages about his fondness for Guantanamo and military tribunals. I am no an ideological purist but can't imagine what kind of libertarian couldn't see anything wrong with those. As imporant as the principles involved in those issues are.I still feel we must all unite behind Rand and do all we can to assure his election. Like most of you, I am tired of politicians adept at"rising above principle", but a defeat for Rand in these circumstances would be a body blow to the entire Freedom Movement. As he matures he will quickly start to realize there is hardly anything worse than the Republican combination of supply-side economics and perpteual war.

That the same way I feel as well. I disagree with him on those few things, but getting him in will help so much that the pros far outweight the cons.
