"It’s not clear whether Paul will score this last victory on the way out. He is nonetheless feeling somewhat vindicated as he prepares to leave office. Though he never stood a chance at becoming president, his ideas on limited government have become mainstream GOP thinking and his campaigns have influenced a new crop of candidates to run for office around the country.
In the Senate, his son Rand Paul is pushing to legalize industrial hemp. And last month Connecticut became the latest state to make medical marijuana legal."
