When the votes for the next U.S. president are tallied 2 1/2 years from now, history may show that it was on Feb. 20, 2014, that Rand Paul, the junior Republican senator from Kentucky, took a crucial step toward the White House.
That was the day the 51-year-old libertarian called out Ted Nugent, a right-wing rock musician whose racist views have been tolerated by some in the populist Tea Party wing of the Republican Party. While campaigning for a politician in Texas, Mr. Nugent described President Barack Obama as a subhuman mongrel.
Many shrugged off the remark as Ted being Ted, but Mr. Paul was quick to respond: Ted Nugents derogatory description of President Obama is offensive and has no place in politics. He should apologize.
Mr. Paul faces enormous challenges should he run for president. A political outsider and first-term senator, he must prove his credentials to a Republican Party divided between libertarians, religious social conservatives, economic conservatives and defence hawks.
Because of its divisions the party often opts for the least offensive candidate, someone such as Bob Dole in 1996, or Mitt Romney, who was the last one standing in a knock-down nomination battle in 2012. Mr. Romney couldnt win the election against Mr. Obama, however, because a lot of those religious conservatives refused to vote for him.
These days the talk is that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie or former Florida governor Jeb Bush could pose the greatest challenge to a Paul nomination.
Even if he got the nomination of this conservative, largely white party, Mr. Paul must win over independents and marginal democratic voters in a general election. This is why Mr. Paul is telling his party and its influential Tea Partiers to lose their prejudices.
We have to reach out to more people, more than just those of us here, he told the Tea Party in February, looking out at the mostly white crowd.
The reprimand was noticed. By decrying Nugent, Paul proves once again that he gets it, wrote Wesley Lowery in the Washington Posts political column The Fix.
And it shows. The youthful Mr. Paul, who resembles what comic-book teenager Archie would look like in his 50s, has consistently been scoring high in Republican polls.
