I think Rand is pretty unlikely to win the nomination, with Jeb Bush as the clear front runner. That being said, I think Rand has already pretty well sold out to the neocons/establishment types. He has abandoned libertarianism to cozy up to the powerbrokers in the Republican party. The funny thing is that they still don't want him to be their nominee.

Democrats win on women and there are a LOT of women who say, " I sure do like that republican candidate but they say the dumbest things about women" or " I feel like I have to pick between my money and my vagina." Winning women is the only way, who will do better at that then Rand? |

Walker is a great candidate, trying to argue otherwise isn't right.
Scott Walker's $370,000 Giveback to the Taxpayers of WI For years, folks in southeastern Wisconsin have heard about Scott Walker, the Milwaukee County executive, giving up thousands upon thousands of dollars of his salary. The returned money was part of a 2002 campaign promise to cut the job’s salary by $60,000 per year. Walker, the Republican candidate for governor, made the pledge in the wake of a scandal over lavish county pensions.
To get our tallies, we went first to the Walker gubernatorial campaign, which referred us to the county Department of Administrative Services. That office reports directly to Walker, so we also asked for figures from Milwaukee County Treasurer Dan Diliberti, a Democrat. Both offices agreed on the figures. Taking into account the partial year Walker served after being elected in 2002, and an odd number of pay periods in 2003 through 2005, Walker returned the equivalent of $60,000 per year from 2002 through 2007. In 2008, which was covered partly by the $60,000 promise and mostly by the $10,000 promise, Walker returned $18,846. And in 2009 and so far in 2010, Walker not only returned the equivalent of $10,000 per year, but he’s also written checks to the county, for just under $500 each, for one furlough day in 2009 and six more furlough days in 2010. The grand total? Walker has foregone $375,070 in salary since being elected county executive in 2002 -- $5,070 more than what he has claimed during the gubernatorial campaign. |

As much as I really like Rand Paul, I think the country will be REALLY wanting someone with executive experience
next go around. I will never marginalize Senator Paul, though. And, I will say the more I hear about/from Governor Walker, the more he impresses me. 'Course, I thought Romney would win in a landslide, too. |

The best way for the Republicans to win the White House is to put up a strong, high quality woman for President.
Hilliary is going to get the Democratic nomination, and if she does will likely win the elections. Only way for the GOP to compete is to pull the rug out from under her and nominate a woman before Hilliary gets her nomination. But, the Republican party doesn't have any strong female contenders; or women who are governors, senators or representatives. It doesn't help any that pretty much all conservatives, including their women, think that a woman's place is in the home and that politics is men's work. |

The powers that be recognize that Walker is going to be someone they can deal with and doesn't have the issues or baggage of the others.
What I can't stand about Walker is that he's a college drop-out. That to me means he's a quitter and I don't like that. |

He is enough of a departure from "traditional" GOP to capture the middle voters that are leery of Hillary. But.. the Primaries is where this is going to shape up, and until the first 4-5 states vote, it's anyone's ballgame. |

CPAC 2015 Wrap Up: Three Observations from Day Threeby Charlie Spiering28 Feb 20151. The Straw Poll Few were surprised when Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul won the straw poll, as organized Paul supporters flooded the conference. Experienced CPAC attendees sometimes refer to the CPAC straw poll as the "Paul Family Poll.” Paul’s win can’t be attributed entirely to supporter organization — there are a lot of young people and college students here with more libertarian views. https://twitter.com/SenRandPaul/status/571796005416509441/photo/1 ....... http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/02/28/cpac-2015-wrap-up-three-observations-from-day-three/ the paul family poll.....  |

Walker is decent on policy but he's just another corrupt political shitbag. I'd vote for him in a pinch but as a man I have no respect for him.
edit: Though to be fair I probably see his corruption more than the other candidates because I follow my own governor a lot closer than politicians from other parts of the country. |

No, really, that's some stupid fucking shit you just said right there. He dropped out of college and became governor of an entire state. For that I like him more than had he gone the other route because he's smart enough to realize that college is not the final goal, college is just one of many roads you can take to achieve your life goal, unlike many people. I 'quit' college to enlist in the Marines. Who gives a fuck about college? If you want to go and feel it will benefit your future then go. If you have other plans then do those. You can't argue with results(even though you are). |

I turned on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace this morning. In the intro, Wallace said that he had a sit down interview with CPAC's big winner. I said to myself, "cool, a Rand Paul interview". In Wallace's next breath, he said the interview was with Scott Walker. I literally had to double check the CPAC poll results to make sure Rand Paul won. The establishment definitely downplays Rand Paul.

OR Rand Paul still won but got 5% less of the vote than he did last year and Walker went from 5th place last year to 2nd place this year barely losing to Paul. Just a suggestion as to why Walker might be more newsworthy at the moment. Or it's a conspiracy of course. |
