Run Rand Run!

Oh, somebody upstairs loves me, and wants me to have even more Rand Paul to ruthlessly mock, as ol' Randy is in South Carolina with belief that some 30 plus days as a Senator means he should be President.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., visited Charleston Monday to talk about his possible presidential bid, how to rein in the national debt and the current military action in Libya.

Paul, a tea party favorite who won his Senate seat last fall, is visiting several early presidential voting states independently of his father, 2008 presidential contender and current U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas.
"The only decision I've made is I won't run against my dad," Rand Paul said.

He has upcoming trips planned to Iowa and New Hampshire, in part, he said, because "I want the tea party to have an influence over who the nominee is in 2012."

Paul said he favors a balanced budget amendment and restructuring Social Security and Medicare to increase the age when future benefits will kick in and to limit benefits to those who have relatively more income. Paul said he is working with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Social Security reform. 

Oh please run.  Please, please, please.  Let a real opposition research team get a hold of your statements just since you got elected. 

Not enough popcorn in Kentucky for this event.  Bring it.
