Instapundit/Ann Althouse/Rand Paul/Tea Party: All Wet

Can we now call this the Instapundit/Althouse approach to politics?

“Rand Paul knows the Republican Party needs to broaden its base. He knows that few other Republicans are willing to reach out, and that many members of the party are content to hunker down with older, white voters. And he knows it's personally beneficial to his political career to do the reaching out. 

So why is he so bad at doing it?”

Oh, I don't know - because it "works" for his wallet? Anyway, yes, yes we can call this the Instapundit/Althouse approach to politics: 

After that "personally beneficial" break-down, it's now perfectly legit,...
