This has been the week of articles painting a dismal portrait of Rand Paul’s presidential campaign. His polling has slipped since the last time I wrote about this topic and his fundraising numbers, including super PACs, have been a major letdown.

Disappointed libertarians are starting to speak out about these struggles, some lamenting that Paul hasn’t been libertarian enough while others note that he hasn’t recaptured the excitement of his father Ron Paul’s Republican presidential campaigns.
