ORIGINAL: hot4bondage Iowa should be interesting. Will Huckabee and Santorum split the evangelical vote again? Will Bush and Walker split the establishment vote? Where does that leave Rand? Has he distanced himself from his dad too much? Not enough? And what about his Senate seat? Kentucky says he can't run for both. I hope Huckabee and santorum wont run. walker seems far more appealing to the conservative end of the spectrum than does bush, while at the same time appealing to the mainstream. I think he stands a good chance. yes I think rand is his own fellow by a long shot and not caught up in the image of his father, while at the same time, appealing to those who supported his father. I don't know about the senate running/president running conflict---I remember them mentioning it some months ago and I think the thought at that time was to find out if it was somehow possible to do both...if I am wrong, or he is wrong, and he doesn't win the presidency, it would be a bummer to lose him in the senate. but then, if a republican wins, one can hope theres a place for him in the administration somewhere. the thing about cruz and paul is they are both Christians too (so far as I know) so I think that negates any potential advantage Huckabee or santorum (who is catholic I believe) have. Biden ran for both VP and the senate in the same year It has been done 4 times, Johnson, Lieberman, and Bentsen.
