 In this episode of Face The Nation Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul, was invited to discuss matters of pertaining to his fathers canpaign and the upcoming Iowa caucus. When Rand was questioned about is father's political standing at the moment he stated that his father's campaign like many of the others has days where he finds himself being the front runner and other days when he is not. Nevertheless this does not mean that he will not win any of the primaries or caucuses. He later goes on to state that his father is the most capable for winning independent votes, which he deemed EXTREMELY significant since it is commonly believed that one cannot win a general election with just Republican votes. His father is also the nost practical when it comes to war affairs. Rand claims that all the other candidates are apt to say bomb this or war on that, but the reality is that after 10 years most americans would prefer to not engage in anymilitary actions. Rand's statements about his father being able to gain independent votes is one that clearly helps his campagn for peopel constantly question if the candidate could defeat Obama.
