The Rand Paul buzz continues to grow as his potential opponents emerge
After a successful money bomb earlier this month, the buzz surrounding the probable Rand Paul campaign continues to grow.
Rand Paul, the son of Congressman Ron Paul, who was given his name after the iconic individualist and author Ayn Rand.
Rand Paul has not shied away from the media spotlight, with appearances on such shows as MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show, and from my observations I can see that he is well prepared for what the media has to throw at him. He is cool, collected and articulate, very much a younger version of his iconic father.
Like his father he is a physician, a foreigner to the Washington social scene, but not oblivious when it comes to the game of politics. He has been a surrogate in his father’s campaigns going back to when he was just 21 years of age.
Unlike his father he doesn’t come into the race with a voting record to nitpick to death. But he does have his father’s solid political platform of sound money and small government to stand on. He is a fierce opponent to the existence of the Federal Reserve banking system and is a supporter of a noninterventionalist foreign policy.
It is looking more and more as though Senator Jim Bunning will not be running for reelection for a variety of reasons. This has been a prerequisite to Rand Paul running, because he did not want to run against a Republican incumbent, a view that is shared with his father’s Liberty PAC. In an April 2009 poll, Bunning’s approval rating was just 28%, not very motivating for the aging Senator. So in the tried and true red state of Kentucky Rand Paul’s biggest battle is sure to be in the GOP primary.
Trey Grayson looks like he is emerging as Paul’s most significant opponent for the GOP primary. Grayson is the current Secretary of State in the state of Kentucky. Something that could come back to haunt Grayson in his GOP primary battle with Paul is that he was a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party and delegate for Bill Clinton in the 1992 campaign. This fact may spell opportunism at a time when the political climate in this country and in Kentucky shows that the electorate may not take kindly to a flipflopper when there is Democratic spending in Washington that is out of control.
Much like his fellow Liberty movement candidates Rand Paul is enjoying nationwide support for a statewide race, he was able to raise over $25,000 in a one day mini-moneybomb before even announcing his official candidacy.
He is shaping up to be along with Peter Schiff, the tip of the spear in the Liberty movement’s assault on Capital Hill.
Comment by Mo on 19 June 2009:
Actually, Rand was not named after Ayn Rand. His full name is Randall. Grew up being called Randy, and when married, wife wanted a more ‘adult sounding’ name. Hence the truncated Rand.
see the following interview of Rand at

Comment by qs on 19 June 2009:
Rand Paul was called Randall (or Randal?) Paul for his entire childhood.
He shortened it to Rand when he got older so it’s nothing to do with Ayn Rand.
Video from him explaining it.

Comment by Michael Gurecki on 19 June 2009:
Actually, to clarify… Rand Paul mentioned on his website that he was infact not named after Ayn Rand… his birth name is actually Randall…

Every one acknowledges that humen’s life is very expensive, but different people need money for different stuff and not every man gets enough cash. Thus to receive good credit loans and short term loan should be good way out.
