Rand Paul forms exploratory committee, new Republican Leader?

Rand Paul announced this evening (as expected) that he has formed an exploratory committee for a run at the U.S. Senate. He did so on the left-leaning Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC. Maddow introduced him just after propping up his father Ron Paul as a potential GOP leader.

I listed Rand Paul as a potential GOP leader in an earlier article this week. Candidates like him (new outsiders) are precisely the type of candidates the GOP needs right now. The old guard Republicans have the power for now and will not go quietly away which makes Paul’s candidacy a long shot, at least for now. If they were smart they’d embrace this new voice. Let the money bombs begin!

Rand Paul’s website http://randpaul2010.com/ was hammered with traffic following his announcement and was unavailable for a short period of time. Feel free to donate now.

    Genetically speaking, he has my vote !

    Rand Paul will invigorate & legitimize the the purpose & integrity of the Senate in the Congressman Ron tradition, I am sure.

    This will be looked at as a very interesting chapter in the never ending story of the Great Experiment called American Democracy. Rand Paul will be a strong, new, much needed pro- Constitution voice in the Senate, reguardless of which party he was running for.

    The GOP will be very lucky to have him on their side.

    We The People salute Ron & Rand Paul !

    Respect !

    Remind us how do you spell "constitution" And how do you enforce it's limitations on federals?

    Knowing how to spell Constitution, is not really all that important.

    Knowing what is in the constitution, is very important.

    Defending the constitution is critically important !
