Two weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed penned by deputy editor Bret Stephens that tore apart Republican Sen. Rand Paul's potential presidential run. Even the headline was full of snark: "Rand Paul for President: Because what the GOP needs is a humbling landslide defeat."
Still, the junior senator from Kentucky put aside his differences with the Wall Street Journal over the weekend and hosted its owner, Rupert Murdoch, at the Kentucky Derby. Paul reportedly invited Murdoch a month ago to join him. The New York Times detailed their pleasant afternoon together, which included a visit the luxury suite of the former ambassador to Latvia, taking a jaunt over to the clubhouse where Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was socializing, and attempting to operate a self-service betting machine.
Murdoch called Paul a "very interesting man" but also told the Times that he liked other prospective Republican presidential candidates such as former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. The media mogul also said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will be "a very strong, fighting candidate in the primaries," but that he expects more controversy to come out of the governor's office.

The U.S. Supreme Court denied an appeal Monday from the Libertarian Party of Ohio, ending the partys efforts to field candidates for governor and attorney general on Tuesdays primary ballot.
Mark Brown, the Capital University law professor representing the Libertarians, said he will ask the entire 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati for a rehearing as part of an effort to gain spots on the November ballot of gubernatorial candidate Charlie Earl and attorney general candidate Steven Linnabary.
If we get it and win before November, (the Libertarians) can have candidates restored to the general election ballot, Brown said in an e-mail. He added that in 2008, the federal courts added Libertarian candidates to the November election even though they did not run in a primary.
A three-judge panel of the 6th circuit last week unanimously upheld a ruling by a federal judge that the candidacy petitions filed by Earl and Linnabary were faulty.
Secretary of State Jon Husted made the original decision to remove them from the statewide ballot
The Libertarians quickly responded by asking first Justice Elena Kagan and then Justice Clarence Thomas to delay enforcement of the appeals court ruling. After Kagan rejected the request, Thomas referred the entire appeal to the nine-member high court and the justices turned it down.
