and Illinois. As Republicans know, I’ve been working very hard to try to attract the African American vote and that’s a big reason why we don’t win a lot of these states is because we haven’t done very will with the African American vote. Paul also said he thinks what positions him best against Clinton is that his campaign launch—which started in Kentucky and had four more events in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Iowa then Nevada—was presidential. “I think if you compare the launches of all the different candidates so far I think there would be only candidate so far—and that would be ours—that actually had a launch that was as presidential, as big [as Clinton’s which drew approximately 5,000 people] and in as many places,” Paul said. We launched our campaign in five states with at least a thousand people at each rally and you saw how it was set up. I think ours was done at a presidential level in terms of the caliber of how we presented our campaign. Our stagecraft—I don’t think anyone else has done that. I’ve seen a couple other people announce on TV, some did a mandatory university convocation. I don’t know if Hillary’s even going to do other places—she only did one right? Is she even going to do other places? Paul also reacted to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign announcement on Monday by tying him to Clinton. “I think there is some Bush-Clinton fatigue and I really sense that people are looking for something new—something this century kind of stuff. I think there’s a hunger for something new out there,” Paul said. “I would be surprised really if we end up with a Bush or a Clinton. I will be shocked to tell you the truth.” Paul, who’s in South Carolina on Monday with his wife Kelley Paul, just arrived after several events with large crowds in Southern California. He drew 900 people in Orange County and 800 in San Diego over the weekend.
