Bill Maher conducted a good interview with Rand Paul on his HBO program the other day. They discussed voters' rights, immigration reform, the war on drugs and the U.S.'s failing prison and foreign policies. The only thing I didn't like was Bill failed to press the issue of denouncing the Citizens United stance that "corporations are people". Since Paul is a registered Republican I'm sure he wouldn't directly denounce it, and he did give a cohesive, thoughtful response when questioned about the issue, but if a Republican said point-blank that it's a ridiculous position to agree with, that would be much more refreshing.

At the moment, I'd still rather see the Independent socialist Bernie Sanders or Massachusetts democrat Elizabeth Warren in the white house come 2016. Or of course that handsome devil Gavin Newsom from San Francisco, but he's probably a long way off from running. I'll bet he does one day, though. Sanders and Warren should run as partners, that'd be the political shit.
