Rand Paul on Meet The Press

Meet The Press scored something of a coup getting controversial Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul, fresh off of his victory in Kentucky's primary and smack in the middle of a major controversy over his views on the 1964 Civil Rights Act, for Sunday's show.

“A major Tea Party victory in Kentucky gives Washington outsider Rand Paul the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate but some of his positions are already creating a controversy,” the show's website brags. “He joins us exclusively for his only Sunday morning interview.”

Now let's hope David Gregory and friends can press him on this and other issues and make sure he answers the tough questions.
