Glenn Greenwald defend Rand Paul against "Democratic myths"

36. One thing Rand Paul did do

and that was to get noticed. He tried that with Hillary in the hotseat a month or so ago, and it sort of fizzled. But I was carefully looking at what the talking head shows had to say about his fillibuster this morning, it was not as negative as I had supposed it would be.

He accomplished his mission, expect him to do more noisemaking things in the next couple of years before he officially announces. I figure one of them is to find and support tea party candidates who can actually win a general election in 2014. He'll bring the power of the Paulbots to the primaries to get his selected candidates nominated, and he'll be on the lookout to avoid the Angles, the O'Donnell's, the Akins and the Mourdocks.

It's how Caribou Barbie managed to raise her profile.
