OMG!
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., visited Charleston Monday to talk about his possible presidential bid, how to rein in the national debt and the current military action in Libya.
Paul, a tea party favorite who won his Senate seat last fall, is visiting several early presidential voting states independently of his father, 2008 presidential contender and current U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas.
“The only decision I’ve made is I won’t run against my dad,” Rand Paul said.
He has upcoming trips planned to Iowa and New Hampshire, in part, he said, because “I want the tea party to have an influence over who the nominee is in 2012.”
Can’t. Make. This. Stuff. Up.
Love his concern that the Tea Party might not have influence. In all seriousness, the problem is they have way too much influence in GOP land.
If Republicans have a credible candidate for President, I’m not seeing him/her.
