Posted under Election 2012 & Ron Paul
I have been seeing/hearing this rumor a lot recently.
IMO, it is too early for a Rand Paul run. It was too early for a Barack Obama run for that matter, but Obama had been a State legislator before becoming a first term, two year Senator. Plus it is not fair to the voters of Kentucky.
I hope Ron Paul runs again. My concern is that this Rand talk might be a trial balloon of sorts from the Paul camp. I can’t imagine people close to Rand would float this rumor without the consent of his father.
I had assumed that another Ron Paul run was a virtual certainty. This has me worried that maybe he isn’t feeling up to another run.

Ron was on Cavuto last night and was asked about this after they discussed Libya. It is worth listening to.
I came away thinking Rand might be spotlighting some of his policy positions with the limelight and found a different way to answer a question they ask him day after day after day…..
But if for some reason Ron didn’t run, and I hope he does, I’d support Rand over any of the rest. I’m just not sure it is a good idea for him, and it would cut his honeymoon short.

As I’ve stated before, I’d like to see Ron Paul run for Senate in Texas, where he has a chance of winning, but would support him again in a Presidential run. Rand is still too wobbly for me. He voted in favor of the Libya no-fly zone but has apparently changed his mind now that he knows what that involves. Anybody who can’t figure out to begin with that imposing a no-fly zone is an act of war probably should not even be a US Senator.
