Liberty Maven

As many Liberty Maven readers are aware we endorsed Rand Paul last summer following our interview with him. At the time he was behind in the polls by 11% points in the Kentucky GOP primary. On Sunday the latest poll shows him leading his Republican opponent Trey Grayson by 15% points.

This is uncomfortable territory for those of us who are used to being the underdogs. Rand Paul has the best chance of any liberty candidate at winning, but a 15% lead does not mean victory is assured.

The great sports teams don’t sit on a lead, they attack until the game is over.  Rand Paul, thus far, has run an excellent campaign and he has a lead according to the polls, but the game is not over.There are still many undecided voters (19% according to the poll) and once they decide, Paul needs them to decide to vote for him.

His lead makes him a target in every one of his opponent’s eyes. Their campaign strategists are sitting around a table right now trying to figure out ways to rip him apart and cut into his lead. They may not be great on the issues, but they are good on the politics, and sometimes that’s all that matters.

Money is required to beat the political strategists at their own game. It has reached the point where everyone and their brother (or son) has a money bomb. Imitation is flattering, but there’s a real sense of money bomb fatigue out there. We can’t let this fatigue be a roadblock. This is especially true in Rand Paul’s case. He’s the outsider running against a candidate the DC machine is supporting. His campaign fund intake has slowed and his opponent has caught up in the funds race.

The next Rand Paul money bomb is scheduled for March 23rd. These money bombs are usually centered around a theme or some anniversary of some liberty-linked event. This one is no different, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is doing everything we can to help Rand Paul win his race to add a true voice for liberty and limited government in the U.S. Senate.

So this “rah rah” article is my unabashed effort to help the March 23rd money bomb be a success. I hope you will join me in this endeavor. Please pledge at WinRandWin.com and donate at RandPaul2010.com on March 23rd.

Do it because Rand Paul has “it”, but hasn’t won anything yet. Back in the day eternal vigilance may have been the sole price of liberty, but these days it also costs money. It’s time to help Rand Paul win the game.
