I hate the idea of 2 Pubs responding. Hopefully the networks don't televise it.
This is great for Democrats if it Paul's response is farther to the right than Rubio's. The country needs to release there's a gigantic wedge in the Republican Party right now between the establishment and the crazies.
The thing is there's not actually that much of a wedge in between the wings of the GOP. As has been previously stated Rubio and Paul's voting records in the Senate are nearly the same.
Rubio and Paul are about to split mightily on immigration reform. I agree that there really wasn't much different about the two pre-2013, but now each are trying to take different paths to the nomination.
The perception of a party giving two different SOTU responses is more important than anything else. It's not like liberals and the DLC did something like this. The establishment was perfectly happy to let the Tea Party run amok in the 112th Congress, but you can already see the two sides splintering before the immigration debate effectively divorces them (especially when you look at the intent of Karl Rove's new Super-PAC).
