Is Rand Paul The Real Deal Or Just A One-Hit Wonder?

Bill Lucey Bill Lucey – Thu May 20, 5:15 pm ET
"Washington is horribly broken."

"The debt bomb is ticking."

Those were the words spoken by newly-christened Kentucky Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul during his victory speech in Bowling Green on Tuesday night, after pounding his opponent Trey Grayson by a convincing 24 points.

You'll notice the eye surgeon didn't say Kentucky was broken; only Washington was broken.

If Paul, the son of Representative Ron Paul of Texas and the first real Tea Party disciple, hopes to defeat Jack Conway, the state's attorney general and Democratic nominee in November, the "Washington is broken" mantra needs to be a reoccurring theme right up until Election Day.

"Politics is not local" is not in Paul's playbook; it's very much national.

So begins a new chapter in American politics with Mr. Paul carrying the torch for the Tea Party movement in shooting down Washington and its reckless spending habits, slamming President Obama for bailing out Wall Street, failing to arrest high unemployment, while promoting ideas for slashing federal programs, voicing opposition to farm subsidies and offering constitutional amendments to balance the federal budget and impose term limits.
