Rand Paul Is that even a question?
If Rand Paul believes what his father believes he's not necessarily more conservative. Paul would be against both wars, clearly not conservative. Paul wouldn't adopt neo-con positions on foreign policy, but that foreign policy seems to be the conservative one.
That's why I ask who is more conservative. I would guess it's Paul, but it seems debatable.
Rand Paul is libertarian in a similar vein to his father, although supposedly they don't agree on absolutely everything. Still, it's very exciting to see him have a decent shot at a Senate seat.
I also smile thinking about what must be going through Trey Grayson's mind. When Rand first announced Grayson acted like he was just a side show, and now Paul is BEATING him in the polls!
One other thing worth noting: If you look at the breakdown, Paul is leading with the most conservative voters, and Grayson with the Moderates, pro-choice, and young people. I have to wonder how that will change as Paul's Libertarian leanings become more known - will he gain popularity with the youth/moderates, or will it turn off the Conservative base?
It intresting that each parties strongest candidate for the general at least as far as the numbers show is running second.
If Rand Paul is a fiscal conservative he'll be fine.
Who is considered more conservative, Paul or Grayson?
