Members Of The Media Are Trying To Politicize The Special Committee - Rand Paul - Hannity - Video
Sen Rand Paul (R-Ky) speaks at a campaign event for North Carolina Republican Senate hopeful Greg Brannon in Charlotte, N.C., Monday, May 5, 2014. The struggle for control of the Republican Party gets an early voter test in North Carolina, where GOP leaders Mitt Romney and Rand Paul push candidates competing for the right challenge Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan in the November midterm elections.

It looks as if Rand Paul is about to escape a nasty primary that could have hurt his presidential ambitions, but there could be another one just down the road.
And Paul isn't on the ballot in either one.
If, as expected, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell handily wins his primary against Matt Bevin on May 20, Paul will have survived, relatively unscathed, a race that had the potential to force Kentucky's junior senator to choose between the Tea Party and the Republican establishment.
Since Bevin has yet to materialize as a serious threat to McConnell, Paul's endorsement of the senior senator has created only marginal blowback from the Tea Party faithful.
He might not get so lucky in the 2015 GOP primary for governor.
Over the weekend, Paul attended the Kentucky Derby and a fundraiser Sunday in Bowling Green with Cathy Bailey of Louisville, a former ambassador to Latvia and potential candidate for governor.
Bailey told the Herald-Leader in December she was "seriously considering" running for governor.
For those who spent this nightmare of a winter understandably hiding under a rock, Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, who is in many ways Paul's political godson, is very likely to run for governor.

Political Paddock: Rand Paul's 2015 could get very complicated
Rick Santorum is not on the Rand Paul bandwagon.
Appearing Monday night on CNNs Crossfire, the former GOP senator from Pennsylvania said Paul isnt his leader and that he doesnt think the Republican Party will nominate him in 2016.
Well first off, I dont think that will happen, Santorum responded when asked by co-host Van Jones if he would support Paul if he received the nomination. Because the Republican Party is not a libertarian party. It is a conservative party. And it will nominate a conservative, not a libertarian.
Santorum ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012 with a mix of social conservatism and economic populism.
He was also asked whether Paul, a Republican senator from Kentucky whom some have called the GOP front-runner for 2016, is his leader.
(Also on POLITICO: Paul fuels fire for 'dragon slayer')
Well, no, hes not my leader, I can tell you that for sure. His father and I had some disagreements during the last campaign.
During the 2012 campaign, Santorum and the elder Paul, a former congressman from Texas, had some public spats. After Ron Paul called him very liberal, Santorum told Fox News that, Ron Paul is disgusting.
Santorum was also asked about his comments earlier in the day on MSNBC, during which he said Republicans should support an increase in the minimum wage and that the GOP position on the issue makes no sense. He said Monday evening that while he supports an increase, he thinks President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats are going too far in their legislation.
I voted for minimum wage increases when I was in the House of Representatives as I did when I was in the Senate, he said. I believe a dollar increase in the minimum wage would make sense. But thats not what the president is doing. The president is trying to push forth a living wage, trying to dramatically jack up the minimum wage to a point where it would dramatically impact the cost of labor and put people out of work. We need a more modest increase.

Santorum has no use for Rand Paul
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.
