Video: How to Meet Rand Paul

Like His Father, Ron Paul's Kentucky Son Raises Cash OnlineBy Greg Giroux | July 1, 2009 11:26 AM |

A possible bid for the 2010 Republican Senate nomination in Kentucky certainly won't enable eye surgeon Rand Paul to rake in the mega-millions in campaign donations procured by his much better-known father -- Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul -- when he campaigned for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination on his strongly libertarian-tinged platform.

But the younger Paul, a first-time candidate for public office, has taken a page from his father's playbook by going online to build up the treasury for the "exploratory" Senate campaign committee he established in May. And he pronounces himself pleased with the fact that his receipts topped $100,000 in a little more than a month.

Its helpful to know that there is this deadline for registering as a Republican. I did not know this even though I have friends who live in KY (I live just across the border.) We need to remember to email our KY friends with messages in support of Rand BEFORE December and tell them that they need to make sure that they are registered Repubs. before the deadline.

Could cause problems with the campaign finance laws. Let's be careful.

(Also with your medical insurance unless you're paying out-of-pocket.)
