"I am proud to support great grassroots candidates like Dr. Paul.... Because he’s a federalist and he wants the states to have more say -- and as we respect the 10th Amendment in our Constitution, he wants the states to have more say in a lot of these issues." ~~ Governor Sarah Palin

"I'm endorsing Rand Paul because he's a true conservative who will stand up to the Washington establishment. Rand has been running on the issues that matter since the beginning of this campaign. He's a strong advocate for balanced budgets, he wants to end the culture of earmarks, he supports term limits, and he's 100% pro-life. Rand is exactly the kind of leader Americans are looking for right now. He's not a career politician and he's got the guts to stand up to the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are being forced on us in Washington. ~~ Senator Jim DeMint, chairman of the Senate Conservatives Fund

Rand Paul is endorsed by:

How desperately the left wish they had an identifiable central leader of the Tea Party to demonize and trash!

(Shrugs). It's just a news piece.

Even Salon.Com can quote Jim DeMint as well as any other paid scribblers.

You guys are funny.

Primary's May 18th. Think you've still got time to pull your RINO boy Grayson's chestnuts outta the fire?

The latest SurveyUSA poll this week had Paul up by 49-to-33 with only 11% undecided, his biggest lead yet. Grayson is now leading only amongst self-described "Liberals".

But maybe you can beat Paul yet! (LOL....)

right, because we should bow to our Federal Reserve Overlord Bernanke. That’s the conservative thing to do.

Is Salon’s stock worth more than 10 cents a share today?

Polls can't stop your boy Trey Grayson from being a Bill Clinton-loving RINO, either.

I'll stick with Sarah Palin and Jim DeMint's choice: Rand Paul.

It’s just unfathomable, in their worldview, for people to be “self leading/governing” and not need some elite centralized control.

Never heard of him. Is he someone I should know about?

Not really. According to Sarah Palin and Jim DeMint, the only candidate in this race worth supporting is Rand Paul, anyway.
