Saw Rand Paul Today!

Got off work early today and took the family to Iowa to see Rand Paul.  Was a whole lot of fun just traveling through the state and seeing the sights.  We caught Rand in Sioux City to a standing room only crowd with plenty of media in tow.  I was excited as well to see his wife on the trail with him.  And on top of it all it was on his birthday and he is hard at work.  Hope the party tonight is one to remember.

There were some great questions from the audience where Rand took some honest but controversial positions for Iowa like opposing ethanol mandates. He responded to a mother with a son who dislikes his stance on ethanol.  Said he was interested in freeing up the ethanol market more rather than pass out subsidies.  Get rid of regulations that limit the amount of ethanol in fuel throughout the year.   I think he excels in the Q and A and for the most part brings the understanding of his positions to the level that gets him respect of his beliefs if not winning people over completely.

Something I noticed today and maybe someone knows the answer.  Yet another person came out to ask about the 28 classified pages about 9/11.  I was glad to see that the man was respectful about the answer he received and gracious.  Is there someone whipping people up to ask this question?  Rand is their only true ally on the topic yet they are demanding he answer for his fellow Senators.  Why not ask Rubio, why not ask Cruz?

When is one of these jokers going to ask one of the other candidates if they believe the Truther line?  Just curious why target Rand.  Remember when they asked Ron about 9/11 and gave others a pass.

They also got people signed up to speak at the caucus in open precincts.  Many were game.  We all got Rand 2016 lapel pins enlisting.  Can't wait for caucus night.  We can have a huge impact if we all get involved!

Update: My wife found this video of the Q&A.  Please excuse my son talking in the background :)
