Rand Paul is my favorite Republican, but right now, it's Mitt Romney's to lose if he decides to run again.

I'm not huge fan of Romney, but he can run the one of the biggest "I told you so" campaigns ever. He's an establishment type without the last name "Bush."

As much as I really like Rand Paul, I don't see how he gets out of the GOP primary. The strong hawks of the party and even the Christian conservative types who don't like Rand for his moderate leanings on the Drug War won't let it happen.

I actually think Rand has a stronger chance at beating Hillary than he does getting out of the GOP primary. He's the only guy who works hard at expanding the conservative movement to the black and Hispanic communities.

I just find the whole idea depressing. He lost. He needs to move on. I'd take Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan over Mitt Romney.

My preference by the way is Perry/Martinez.
