Rand “No, Not As In ‘Ayn Rand'” Paul is polling at a whopping 2.4 percent in the Republican primary, behind such other noteworthy People Who Will Never Be President as Mike Huckabee and Chris Christie. Next week he plans to “turn his attention” to raising money…for his Senate reelection campaign. And today we found out that one of the three (!) super PACs that was behind Senator Paul’s presidential run has decided to hang ’em up:
Ed Crane, who leads PurplePAC, told Politico Tuesday that he won’t raise money until the campaign changes course.
Crane, a co-founder of the libertarian think tank Cato Institute, told the site: “I wasn’t going to raise money to spend on a futile crusade. … I don’t see the point in it right now.”
So if you’re in an office pool or something, this seems like a safe time to put some money on Senator Paul being the next one to drop out of the GOP field. I can’t say I’m a Rand Paul supporter, but he was definitely less interested in blowing up the rest of the world than his competitors, so if he does drop out soon he’ll be missed in that respect.
