Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) thinks Americans are holding out for a D.C. outsider in 2016; perhaps “someone like myself,” he said Monday.

“I think they want someone outside of, you know, what’s been going on. For example, someone like myself who has been promoting term limits,” he said on Fox News Monday. “Someone who says we shouldn’t have, you know, decade after decade longevity up here.”

“And I think I’m, enough, new here to still be perceived as an outsider, should that be the choice at sometime in 2016,” he added.

When indirectly asked about a potential New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie run, Paul responded that governors aren’t necessarily outsiders just because they’re not stationed in the District of Columbia.

On Sunday, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made similar remarks.

And of course the "liberal" media (even some conservatives consider Fox News part of the "liberal media&quot is providing these guys a self-promotion vehicle. No tough questions about any wrongdoing they've done while in public office...DU should have PLENTY of examples.

2. He would have an advantage in the debates

He could hide a receiver under that rug of his. Would be a lot more concealed than Junior's was in 2004.

5. I am sure there are some who would pick him.

Most of them, though, salute with a straight, outward arm.
