Carney: 'It'll be awesome' if Cruz, Paul run

By Justin Sink - 11/01/13 03:31 PM EDT

White House press secretary Jay Carney joked Friday that it would be “awesome” if Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) ran for president in 2016.

“I think they all ought to run,” Carney said. “It'll be awesome.”

Carney made the quip as he was looking to deflect questions about whether President Obama would choose sides in a hypothetical Democratic showdown between Vice President Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“I'm not going to get into 2016,” Carney said. “Unless you want to — we could talk about the Republicans. That's pretty interesting.”

Republican party has become and what they will really face come 2016, from straight demographics to some insider political stuff...
