Paul a "grown-up, professional, sane libertarian"

From Eric Dondero:

Two big items of news on the Rand Paul front. Firstly new Rasmussen numbers are out, virtually unchanged from a month ago (via Hedgehog):

Rand Paul (R) 47%
Jack Conway (D) 38%

Rand Paul (R) 48%
Daniel Mongiardo (D) 32

Additionally, Rand Paul picked up the endorsement of staunch religious conservative Dr. James Dobson. He had originally endorsed Paul's GOP primary opponent Trey Grayson.

Josiah Schmidt, regular contributor to Rightosphere and friend of Libertarian Republican blog, editorialized:

In what is almost sure to be the last nail in the coffin of establishment candidate Trey Grayson's Kentucky Senate campaign, former Focus On The Family President James Dobson has retracted his recent endorsement of Grayson, and instead endorsed Dr. Rand Paul. Dobson explains that Grayson's allies deliberately mislead him on where Rand Paul stood on a variety of issues. After Dobson did his own research and interviewed Rand Paul personally, he confessed he had "made an embarrassing mistake" and threw his weight behind the Bowling Green eye doctor and son of Congressman Ron Paul.

Rand Paul's campaign has proven to be an almost flawless example of how libertarians can have a say in the direction of our country if they're willing to focus on areas where they can work together with conservatives, reach out to more traditional Republicans, and present themselves in a sane, professional, grown-up manner.
