Rand Paul isn't all that popular here in Kentucky, and the Tea Party isn't especially strong (supposedly it's infused with the religious right, which the Tea Party isn't asupposed to be). He has also change his position on illegal immigrates, which won't fly---either in Kentucky or within the conservative movement nationally. Also, Paul needs friends with really deep pockets since he doesn't have the money personally. Politically, he is at least as experienced as Obama was politically when he ran for President; perhaps more so. His father, Ron Paul, have "been there done that", so hell prove to be a hugh asset to Rand's campaign. As more get into the race, I think his star fades.

From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
—Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
—David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World and Agenda for A New Economy
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
