Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is leading an online poll being conducted by Contract From America as the conservative pick for president in 2016.

Contract From America (CFA) is a nonprofit conservative organization that promotes the “Contract From America” that was first drafted and embraced in 2010 by tea party Republicans.
CFA distributed the poll to tea party chapters and leaders, and conservative organizations across the country, and asked voters to choose their favorite candidate in 12 to 15 head-to-head match-ups featuring 32 possible candidates.
Rand Paul leads the poll, winning 80 percent of his match-ups, with Walker winning 76 percent and Rubio winning 73 percent.

Rubio’s resume is pretty thin.
******************************
It pales in comparison to Ted Cruz’ resume’!
Cruz is a firm Constitutionalist, served as law clerk to Chief Justice Rienquist (sp?), presented about 80 cases to SCOTUS and argued about 40 before SCOTUS, was Solicitor General of Texas, etc., etc.
Leave Rubio in the Senate! He’s an amnesty dog.
He believes the president should be able to pick his cabinet and when he’s president he’ll be able to point this out to the Democrats. He isn’t going to change his view because your ranting about it. Rand is extremely principled. He does not believe in anything Obama stands for or his stooges but he isn’t to block them or indeed vote against them to make a political point.
He did vote against Brennan probably because he thinks he’s dangerous as he devised the drone policy.
