Dr. Rand Paul’s 10-length victory in the Kentucky GOP Senate Derby — a runaway victory worthy of Secretariat — is a sure sign that the anti-Obama, anti-federal, anti-incumbent Tea Party vote is going to be a central (if not THE central) story of the 2010 mid-term elections.
It’s up to President Obama and the Democrats to make libertarian thinking the issue in the fall — by proving that the philosophy, if actually implemented, would mean the end of Social Security, Medicare, student scholarships and even the Interstate Highway System.
Paul, named for libertarian radical writer Ayn Rand, favors shutting down the IRS, the Fed, the American military presence overseas, the Department of Education and much of the rest of the federal government.
Now, Kentucky (where I began my career) is not Berkeley. The anti-”revenuer” tradition is strong there. Sen. John McCain won the state over Barack Obama by 16 points. Still, a big win by a man with such views is remarkable. Paul, 47, a Bowling Green ophthalmologist who had never sought political office, started far behind the establishment favorite Grayson. But he surged ahead with a plain-spoken style and a platform rooted in small-government, anti-Washington thinking: term limits, a balanced-budget amendment, a requirement lawmakers read every word of legislation before it passes and a stipulation that laws spell out their constitutional underpinning.
“I think it’s towards people in power who are part of the problem,” Paul said on the Fox Business Network after the polls closed Tuesday. “They are worried about those who keep spending the money and seem to have no restrain. I think it’s an anti-big government message going on.”
Paul said he’s “not going to run away from the Tea Party message
