Summary: <br> <br> <p class="MsoNormal">Despite the Congressional recess which began this week, Rand <br> Paul continues to remain in the headlines and as a popular topic of <br> conversation in the media. The Senator’s ongoing war of words with New Jersey <br> Governor Chris Christie appears to be coming to end…for now. But the ramifications <br> for the identity of the Republican Party will be felt in the coming months. <br> Sen. Paul’s interview with NPR- in which he chastised host John Harwood for <br> dwelling on Jack Hunter’s foibles and reading insults from ideological foes- <br> raised eyebrows and made news. Particularly lame attack pieces continue without <br> respite. Some of us have been disappointed by Rand’s tactical and political <br> decisions since he was elected in 2010. But the entire establishment is teamed <br> up against him. He can only withstand the barrage of negativity if his support <br> base stands with him!
