Ron & Rand Paul campaign together in Iowa


Ron and Rand Paul Hit the Campaign Trail in Iowa

Drs. Paul to make five stops
LAKE JACKSON, Texas -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Ron Paul 2012 presidential campaign today announced that Dr. Ron Paul will be joined by his son Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) for a historic two-day, five-stop campaign tour in Iowa [August 10-11]. At the five joint events, the junior senator from the Commonwealth of Kentucky will introduce his father, the 12-term Congressman from Texas’s 14th District.
“Now we again are seeing history in the making as the Drs. Paul campaign alongside each other in the important early primary election state of Iowa.”
In addition, the night prior to the first day of the Pauls’ two-day tour, Congressman Paul will make a visit to Fairfield, Iowa to mingle with area voters.
The duo’s visit is the first known instance of an incumbent U.S. Congressman campaigning for the presidency alongside his son, an incumbent U.S. Senator. Both Pauls are by trade medical doctors, with the senior Dr. Paul an obstetrician who personally delivered more than 4,000 babies and the junior Dr. Paul an accomplished eye surgeon.
“We in the senior Dr. Paul’s campaign are already witnessing history as it pertains to Ron Paul inspiring the national conversation about restoring faithfulness to the constitution, freeing Americans from a crushing national debt, and reversing the federal government’s overreach,” said Ron Paul 2012 spokesman Jesse Benton. “Now we again are seeing history in the making as the Drs. Paul campaign alongside each other in the important early primary election state of Iowa.”
“We are heartened that the Iowa state Republican Party can be part of this great story of an incumbent U.S. Congressman campaigning for U.S. President joined by his son, an incumbent U.S. Senator,” said Ron Paul 2012 Iowa Chairman Drew Ivers.

  1. And if they have lunch during the tour, it will be the first time an incumbent U.S. Congressman and his son, an incumbent U.S. Senator, will have had lunch together in Iowa.

    And if they both have to go to the bathroom after lunch, it will be the first time ever that an incumbent U.S. Congressman ad his son, an incumbent U.S. Senator, went to the bathroom together in Iowa.

    The possibilities for endless milking of the 'history' angle are fascinating.
