Rand Paul will do his best to charm a group Mitt Romney’s top donors next week at an event facilitated by Romney finance director Spencer Zwick.
The Friday luncheon will take place in Boston at the offices of Zwick’s private-equity firm, Solamere Capital, according to a source familiar with the event. Romney’s eldest son Tagg is also a managing partner at the firm, and Romney is the executive chairman.
The event is yet another signal that Paul is preparing a for a serious presidential bid in 2016. Two years before the GOP primary, Paul is attempting to branch out beyond his libertarian-leaning base, and the ability to tap some of the establishment donors who helped Romney raise over $1 billion in 2012 will be critical to that effort.

I have mentioned a couple of times, that they have a similarity to each other, and it keeps increasing.
Just a personal thing ... don’t trust him, don’t like his politics. And he is off to meet with socialists Romney’s donors? Color me surprised.
Gettin curiouser and curiouser.
Randy.....avoid talking about the 47%!
Connecting with the in crowd. He will destroy his true base and become another loser.
A Romney/Paul ticket being concocted?
Yoo-hoo! Over here...
Interesting (and dreary) thought.
Paul-Martinez is my guess.
BUMP!

Yup, Conservatives will not vote for a Republican Socialist, regardless of the politician’s Campaign spending.
Never kick a gift horse in the mouth.
Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.
Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.
Sheldon Adelson? A Patriot? Please. Quite the contrary. He’d just as soon destroy America as any Socialist Dim. Don’t make me laugh. He is a self aggrandizing narcissist. He would throw you under any bus if it would make him a dime.
This headline makes me recall all this talk and speculation...
There Really Is A Secret Alliance Between Ron Paul And Mitt Romney

We obviously differ when it comes to Mr. Adelson. My reason for characterizing this great man as a Patriot stems from his unwavering support for Newt Gingrich in the 2012 Republican primaries. And, as I'm sure you'll recall, Jim Robinson and Free Republic endorsed Congressman Gingrich. It seems to me that both Mr. Robinson and Mr. Adelson are on the same team.
Pound sand
FURP
Undoubtedly this is part of his deal with McConnell—access to GOP-E high rollers in exchange for support against Bevin.
Bingo.
