Senator Rand Paul Endorses Mitt Romney

Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky

Many were surprised to hear that Senator Rand Paul, son of fellow Republican GOP Candidate Ron Paul, endorsed Mitt Romney recently. The endorsement kind of seems like a bit of a clothes-pin endorsement in favor of Romney over fellow presidential candidates, Obama (D) and Gary Johnson (Lib.). Rand Paul, during most of his endorsement, promoted his father as a well-respected candidate, and then at the end, stated he would be endorsing Romney. Why is this important? For one thing, some Ron Paul fans may end up helping out Romney. This will also keep peace at the convention from a Ron Paul fan attack, like what has taken place at some of the state conventions this year. In the end, I think this is just a way to tell the Paul fans to stand down. (for more information, click the link below)
