Rand Paul speaks at a rally in Sarasota on Saturday.

SARASOTA Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, sounding every bit like a presidential candidate, wrapped up two days of Florida campaigning on Saturday by urging Republicans to boldly go where we have not gone before and reach out to young people, minorities and poor and working-class voters.

Paul has drawn distinctions between himself and Florida favorites Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.

Its similar to the message former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio have been delivering in their presidential explorations. But while Bush and Rubio stress economic opportunity, the libertarian Paul says privacy rights and a non-interventionist foreign policy should be part of the appeal as well.

At the Orange County GOP Lincoln Day dinner on Friday night in Orlando, Paul called for sentencing reform, saying tough penalties for drug offenses disproportionately hurt minorities and were mistaken if we dont understand it.
