In March, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul put his odds of winning the Republican presidential nomination at "one in five, one in six."
But on a Thursday night conference call with Republicans who will vote this Saturday on whether to have a presidential caucus next year, Paul adjusted those odds to "one in 10."
Paul, who told callers he was under the weather, called in with nearly 350 members of the Republican Party of Kentucky's state central committee in an effort to persuade them to go ahead with a proposal that would allow him an end-around a state law that prohibits a candidate from appearing on the same ballot twice.
The cost of switching to a caucus, which would allow Paul to run for president and the U.S. Senate at the same time, was a major topic as Republicans wanted to know why Paul had not transferred an initial payment of $250,000 to an RPK account as he said he had in a letter this week.
Republicans wanted to know why Paul was waiting until the proposal passed at the state central committee meeting this Saturday, and Paul responded that there was no need to transfer the money unless Kentucky's Republicans don't trust their junior senator.

The call, which was described to the Herald-Leader by participants, was at times a comedy of errors.
When one caller suggested that costs could be kept down if a caucus location's preference were recorded by a show of hands instead of paper ballot, Paul initially agreed that would save costs until other participants objected, noting a need for a secret ballot in a presidential race.
Paul also raised some eyebrows by suggesting that Republicans pass a bag during the caucuses to raise money to pay for the events.

Toast
One in a thousand?
Hello Rand? Listen, how about you go piss up a rope...
Curly is a low energy person.
What I found telling was the “secret ballot” for president. You RINOs never learn.
And oddly, McConnell has so far been more helpful to Bevin than Paul has been.
Paul should not only be here, but challenge all of the other GOP President candidates to show up here and rally the GOP voters to get interest in this sleepy governor’s race and turnout. That would be enough to put us over the hump.
Rand, Go off and have a little beach vacation with Lindsay, La Raza Rick and the Huckster. You all are through.
Where does Rand get his hair cut?
A poodle groomer?
he is running for president and can’t under sc law hold that office while running for the higher office. is he that bad of an eye doctor that he can’t go back to that to earn a living?
He just gave the state GOP a caboodle of cash to ignore that law as applied to him. I’m not sure how this is really different from Yeb Boosh taking a big payoff from Lehman Brothers or algore making a nice living from global gassing.
So I’ve concluded Rand wants to be the GOP’s sex poodle.
He cuts his own hair. Where do you get hair cut?
Rand Paul is like road kill. He’s lying there with little Xs on his eyes and won’t admit it and drop out.
His sleazy attempt to change his State’s law sealed his doom, although he didn’t have a chance at the nomination from the get-go.
