I see several advantages--activates the teapartiers, the Paulies/libertarians, geographical balance, Washington experience...maybe attract the religious fundies...

after the Palin debacle, there will be no more raving lunatics on the GOP ballot.

Rand Paul probably still uses Atlas Shrugged as his nightly binky.
