When Rand Paul touches down in Iowa Friday, it will be almost exactly three years to the day after his landslide 2010 Senate primary victory – an unlikely and decisive triumph over the Republican establishment that instantly transformed Paul into a national political phenomenon.
Now, as Paul weighs a 2016 presidential bid, a different kind of challenge confronts him: Can the plain-spoken former Bowling Green ophthalmologist build a campaign to back up his popular appeal?For all Paul’s success as a media brand and a mobilizer of the conservative grassroots, the Kentucky senator has done relatively little since 2010 to assemble a political machine around his own personality. For now, the Rand Paul project is a high-wire act that works largely without a net.
i'm waiting for that "OOP'S", we all know they have been here and diy the right wing, if you can sling it andthe base claps you're in.

Paul’s political action committee, RAND PAC, has only just now hired a spokesman, sources said: former Michele Bachmann aide Sergio Gor. While Paul has reached out to key figures in the GOP donor community, much of his fundraising still happens over the Internet – though he’ll court Silicon Valley moguls at multiple meet-and-greet events later this month in California, according to a top aide.
Advisers acknowledge that Paul’s political orbit remains remarkably small for a politician so visible, and so apparently eager to take his act to the next level. As he works the early stages of the 2016 pre-primary circuit, the senator continues to rely on a small band of aides, most of whom have been with him since his days as an underdog Senate candidate. The Paul crew is politically nimble, but also fairly green in national politics– even proudly amateurish.
do they think something he doesn't know seems like they aren't stepping up like they did for the Applachin guy, and the others.
