Paul Update Jan 21-27

On Martin Luther King Day, Congressman Paul released a statement saying that voters "have the opportunity to choose a candidate who will uplift the ideals for which Dr. King fought—and died...the fight for freedom," while also raising 1.85 million dollars. Furthermore, Paul was endorsed by supporters including former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, Norma McCorvey ("Jane Roe" of Roe v. Wade), and prominent investment advisor Don Luskin.  Days later, Don Luskin along with Peter Schiff was named Paul's new economic advisors, while John Tate was named national political director and Mark Elam was named national media director.  On the 24th, Paul released a new economic plan that calls for tax, spending, monetary and regulatory reform.  At the Florida debate this weekend, Paul demonstrated and emphasized how he is the only real Republican running, because he is the only candidate who has stuck by the party principles of protecting individual freedoms, a balanced budget, smaller government, and the strict following of the Constitution.  On January 26th, the Paul Campaign issued a challenge to the credentials of delegates of the Lousiana party convention, with Paul's campaign manager saying, “The initial failure of the Louisiana GOP to properly determine who was and wasn’t eligible to vote threw this entire process into disarray.  However, voter eligibility was just one of many irregularities with the caucus process. We are filing this contest to ensure that we can challenge the results if it appears that delegates were improperly selected.”
