Rand Paul raises $1 million

[Brittain33]

Because individual senators have a great deal of power with holds and other abilities to single-handedly forstall consideration of issues and nominees. Paul is so much a utopian whackjob he'll likely (ab)use those senitorial perogatives more in a single term then Jesse Helms did in 30 years.

But he's such a utopian whackjob that he'll probably block a bunch of stuff when the Republicans control Congress, too.

If he tries, the Republicans will disregard his holds and move forward.
