I cannot wait to see the establishment take their only chance down

If Paul loses the GOP primary, it would be like Bama losing to Auburn and Tennessee 10x in a row all at once for me

Paul may be the best bet to beat Hillary (assuming she runs) BUT:
You have to run for president for 2 years. That's a long haul that favors experienced politicians.* Unfortunately, elections are more of a contest of who can gaff the least. Paul is a relative newcomber. The straight-talk that you like about him is also likely to get him in trouble. I just think he's going to have a hard time getting out of the primary.
* Preemptive response: Yes, I know Obama's experience as a community organizer.... Hillary led the majority of that campaign so he didn't have to be in the spotlight. Plus he's an outstanding politician and he had the W factor going for him when it came to independents/moderate voters.

He's got momentum.

Is Paul a tea party guy?

If Rand is anything competitive in a place like Colorado, that is not good fricking news for Hillary. If Rand can win Colorado, Rand may be tougher to beat than Obama was for Hillary.

No significant change in that Quinnipiac poll from prior ones.
April: Rand 48 Clinton 43
January: Rand 47 Clinton 43
November: Rand 47 Clinton 44
More surprising to me is that Hillary gets her lowest number vs. Christie, with whom she is tied at 42%, and that a guy like Huckabee only trails her by one point at 45-44.
Remember, Rick Santorum won the popular vote in Colorado in the 2012 race for the GOP nomination, and Romney easily won in 2008. It's a caucus state, so many casual voters tend to stay home. Have to get them off the couch and down to the precinct for a few hours. Many Romney voters stayed home because he was the favorite to win again in 2012. Paul supporters can't make the same mistake in 2016 if he's leading the polls there.
Bottom line, still way, way, way too early to project the outcome in Colorado in 2016, as it is in all of the swing states.
