Paul says he will run for Senate

By Joseph Gerth • jgerth@courier-journal.com [Louisville, Ky]• August 5, 2009


Bowling Green ophthalmologist Rand Paul said Wednesday that he will convert his Senate exploratory committee to a full-fledged campaign.

“We're excited about it, and some people will be amazed at what we're going to be able to accomplish,” he said in an interview.

Paul's decision to enter the 2010 race was expected, especially after Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., announced last week that he would drop his bid for a third term after posting poor fundraising totals during the first half of 2009.

Paul — the son of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, an unsuccessful candidate last year for the Republican presidential nomination — said he probably would have eventually entered the race even had Bunning stayed in.

“I do have a lot of respect for Sen. Bunning, and I was still waiting out of respect for him … but I think we were going forward on the basis of uncertainty (about whether Bunning would be re-elected),” he said.

Gotta be. He's an opthamologist.

I dunno, the article says...

His politics are similar to his father's, as is his disdain for mainstream Republican initiatives that he argues led to a doubling of the federal deficit during the Bush administration.
...
“I'm a Republican,” he said. “I want us to be true to our platform. The problem is, we've elected republicans who aren't true to our platform,” he said(sic).

No, it's worse than that. When he drinks daddy's kool-aid, his hands shake.

It's different for moonbats and nutters.  Just ask Joe Biden.

He announced on Cavuto on Fox this afternoon.

Said he's a registered Republican and will run as a Republican.
