Ron Paul's son borrows tactics for Ky. Senate bid
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Former presidential candidate Ron Paul's son is borrowing a page from his father's playbook for his U.S. Senate bid, leaning heavily on Internet fundraising and tapping the enthusiasm of young Republicans on college campuses.
The difference this time is that it could actually work. Eye surgeon Rand Paul, once ignored as a longshot, raised more than his main 2010 GOP primary opponent in the most recent fundraising period, and experts say he has a legitimate shot at winning the Senate seat being vacated by colorful Republican Jim Bunning.
...So far, Grayson has taken a hands-off approach toward Paul, essentially hoping for missteps that would cause the ophthalmologist's momentum to wane...

Voss must not know
his job very well if he really believes the last statement. Reads like a veiled hit piece, but what can one expect?
The writer is also uninformed. Dr. Paul had no "tactics." He did not seek out the internet. His supporters, via the internet, sought out him. How else could we since he was being black-balled by the MSM? We had no choice.

Still some great comments...
Still, I found this piece to be pretty exciting. I am a bit concerned about Rand Paul peaking too early - but if we keep growing---it should go really well! We need to flood the area w/ volunteers as we near the election...but the campaign needs to be ready to manage all of the volunteers--because they can cause more harm than good sometimes.
