McConnell says he's 'almost certainly' backing Rand Paul in 2016By Jonathan Easley at the Hill

"SNIP.......................
Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday says he's likely to endorse Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) if he runs for president in 2016.
In an interview on CNNs "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer," reporter Dana Bash asked McConnell directly if he'd endorse Paul for the White House.
I'm almost certainly going to be doing that at some point, McConnell said.
Its the latest sign that the two men have made strides in repairing their relationship since 2010, when McConnell endorsed Pauls GOP rival in the Senate primary.

I wonder if he has nightmares about Cantor.

(45,251 posts)5. So far, the state legislature is not changing the law that allows Rand to run for both Senate
and Prez at the same time; and he announced he is running for Senate. We'll all just have to wait and see what really happens.
