Of course. Most people have projected Benton to be the guy though. He was campaign manager in Rand's 2010 run, Papa Paul's 2012 run, and was placed with Mitch for 2014 as Rand's guy who had to hold his nose to work for McConnell.

Jesse Benton, manager of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s reelection campaign, told a conservative activist in a phone call early this year that he was “holdin’ my nose” to run the race to benefit Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul in a 2016 run.

“Between you and me, I’m sort of holdin’ my nose for two years because what we’re doing here is going to be a big benefit to Rand in ’16, so that’s my long vision,” Benton says, according to a recording of the call obtained by the blog EconomicPolicyJournal.com.
