KYWORDSMITH has confirmed that Dr. Rand Paul of Bowling Green will be taking the next step towards becoming a candidate for US Senate by forming an exploratory committee this week. Christopher Hightower, Paul’s spokesperson, tells KYWORDSMITH that Paul – a 46-year- old ophthalmologist – will appear on MSNBC on the Rachel Maddow Show this evening to discuss his plans in detail and make the announcement official. He will follow upon Friday morning with a series of national media appearances.

Earlier this week, KYWORDSMITH sat down with Dr. Paul to learn more about why he’s exploring a run for the U.S. Senate, what he thinks his chances are, and how much money he expects to raise.

Did Bunning announce retirement? He was one of the few good ones that I understand.

No. Rand Paul has said he won’t run against him unless Bunning officially goes. This just allows him to raise money and keep up with Trey Greyson in such a case Bunning does retire.

This is probably Ron Paul's son, Randall Paul. But that wouldn't assure his political stances.

Thanks. Maybe an ophthalmologist can help the rest of those buggerers in the Senate see well enough to read the Constitution and find out what limits on government mean!

It’s related also as in “family.” I see no quibbles here.

"Get your head out & take a deep breath."

Too bad for you, we have records and transcripts. Wacko Ron Paul blamed the 911 attacks on the US being in Saudi Arabia. He also propagated Cindy Sheehan's conspiracies on the *ALEX JONES show right after Cindy Sheehan's appearance.

* Alex Jones is a conspiracy Evangelists that has a weekly talk show. Ron Paul frequents as a guest. No real Conservative would even think about it, but then again, Ron Paul is a Libertarian....NOT A CONSERVATIVE!!!
