Rand Paul for Senate

A bit dated from the first whiff of this news...

But if Senator Jim Bunning retires or is pushed aside, Rand Paul (son of Ron) plans to run in the Republican primary.

I've heard him speak (eloquently) and he is quite principled. That'd be awesome!

Congressman Ron Paul's son Rand is going to run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Sen. Jim Bunning if Bunning ultimately decides not to run, he said Thursday night.

"We will need a conservative to run against that liberal David Williams," Dr. Paul, 46, a Bowling Green opthamologist, said.

"Bunning has been treated unfairly," he said. "It's been his finest hour within the last year or so with his votes on the bailouts."

"David Williams has given up the ghost on the budget. He didn't even put up a fight on raising taxes."
