Uh.....we are talking about Son of Paul, namely Rand.

Also Ronald Reagan was not tall. But his spirit made him a giant.

"Also, Ronald Reagan was not tall."

I met President Reagan several times at private parties during his two campaigns. I was 5'10" at the time. Standing next to him I estimated he was a little over 6' tall, maybe 6'1". Probably about 175-180 in weight. He carried himself erectly and his physique conveyed strength.

What I remember mostly is the fact he had that rare attribute....that certain "aura" that some notables exude when they walk in through a door. With Reagan, the room seemed to light up and become charged, all eyes became transfixed on him, men and women alike. I've heard say that Clinton at his peak had that same aura.

At any rate, I'm with a previous poster who alluded that Rand Paul may be a little too pipsqueak-ish to attain the presidency. Unfortunately, the voting public does pick up on certain physical attributes when assessing presidential candidates, especially in this television age.
