Rand Paul’s campaign is not dead but he sure is acting like it.

Almost a year after being named “The Most Interesting Man in Politics,” the Kentucky senator stood in a rustic New England kitchen on a Saturday morning, surrounded by dozens of adoring fans, and looking like anything but…

So, here he was, back on the trail in New Hampshire,where he sometimes stared at the beautiful wood floor below him as he shuffled his well-worn brown shoes like an awkward kid at a middle school dance.

When people handed him books to sign, his eyes darted around the room as if searching for the nearest exit. Not that Paul wasn’t more than happy to sign but he signed them in the most delicate fashion, seeming to genuinely care about the person he is dedicating it to.
