Rand Paul: Ron Paul surging at the right time - CBS News

Rand Paul: Ron Paul surging at the right time - CBS News - Kevin Hechtkopf:

January 1, 2012 - "(CBS News) Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said his father, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, is surging at the right time.... 'I think this is the best time to be surging to the top,' Rand Paul said on 'Face the Nation.' 'Ron Paul has surged probably as much as anyone in the last two or three weeks and has been the frontrunner or near being the frontrunner in Iowa. He's closing the gap in New Hampshire. So I think he's surging at precisely the right time....'

"Rand Paul also addressed the conventional wisdom that, despite a recent rise in the polls, his father would be unable to win the Republican nomination, or the general election.

"'Who is scoring the best with Independents and Democrats among Republicans? Ron Paul is the only one getting significant Independent vote, and Democrat vote,' he said.... 'Look at the crowds... Ron Paul is having these big huge crowds in Iowa and really exciting a lot of young people and new people. I think there is a lot of momentum. I think he could win by bringing in the Independents.'"
