IMO, Rand Paul may have already made himself the leader of the GOP. There has been a huge void for years, and this week, he FILLED it quite nicely. If he follows up on this with something, he will be in the driver’s seat.
The ‘Neocons’ had best run and hide.
We have been leaderless for too long. He connected with people because he believed what he was saying, it wasn’t just politics. Hopefully other Conservatives will be encouraged to follow suit.
No, just made himself a ‘voice’ of the Party- cutting into Linsey and McCain’s talk show tine... and boy did they resent that.
If he boosts House and Senate candidates in 2014 he’ll be the leader.
NYTimes trying to triangulate him this soon is a good sign though.
