It will be interesting to see how the GOP Establishment treats Rand. They are already separating him with the Tea Party, painting him as too far right to win.

How have those moderate choices been working for the GOP? They haven't worked at all.

The GOP establishment obviously wanted Obama to win in 2008 and 2012, and Clinton in 1996. It is to their advantage somehow, at least in their minds.

The American Conservative Union has rated both Rand and Rubio as 100.00, which means that they voted in favor of the conservative position in each of the 20 votes.

So, how do you choose between these two candidates on record? I also choose on substance, and this article lines out my exact thoughts on both responses to the SOTU address.

The whole article is very well worth the read.

Rubio's and Rand's Contrasting State of the Union Address Responses

"But they ended up a study in sharp contrast. Where Rubio deployed vague and glittering generalities in a series of platitudes, Paul emerged as the adult who unveiled specific policy proposals in his Tea Party Express response to counter Obama."
