Rand Paul Says His Wife Opposes a Presidential Run

But will that matter?

|

Speaking in Detroit the other night, Sen. Rand Paul was asked if he'd run for president in 2016. It's a question he gets a lot these days. …

"Where's my cell phone? Can I call my wife?" Paul joked. "There's two votes in my family. My wife has both of them and both of them are 'no' votes right now."

"If I'm a very able politician, I'll tell you in a year whether I'm able to persuade my wife. Right now, I don't know yet, but I thank you for your interest," he said.
