Ditto. I agree with you that Rand Paul came across defensive from the get go and belligerent at times. Besides, we don't need another Paultard libertarian who will vote against everything, including the annual Defense Appropriations bill. Btw, I hope everyone noticed how Rand Paul shied away from direct comments on the Patriot Act, FISA and enhanced interrogations. Not to mention the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Paul's comments on Gitmo didn't remove any doubts concerning his flip-flopping on the issue in 2009.
I thought Johnson did a good job and Grayson was on message too. If this boils down to the charismatic cult of personality, sadly, Paul will win. Otherwise I think both Grayson and Johnson would get the job done for Kentucky.
Rand Paul won and knocked it out of the park on more than one occasion
