Austin's a great guy, he called me yesterday... he has a growing fanbase and I legitimately think that he could win the primaries and defeat McCaskill. People always underestimate libertarians in congress, for example Kentucky. Before 2010, the Kentucky senate went to either democrats, or republicans in close calls. Rand won in a landslide and was the nominee easily.
My LP friend campaigned for him in the LP primary. He shared his new donation pages. Is he definitely running as a Republican this time? He had expressed some frustration with the LP last time out. He's quite the doctrinaire type and has had some interesting points.
