I watched his Berkeley appearance and I was very impressed. He seems as intelligent as Newt, without the bombast. Paul thinks things through and has plans. While I may not agree with everything he proposes, I am willing to hear him out. He has reasons for his positions and believes what he says. I see all the distortions about his positions to downright lies. If you want to know where he stands on something, just ask him. Read what he has said (in context of course).
I have found no deal breakers as of yet. The more I hear, the more impressed I get.
Your thoughts parallel mine. I have not yet seen a deal breaker with Rand Paul. But elections are long time away.
