Sen. Rand Paul meets with local Republicans in Hiawatha, Iowa. He's made three trips to the state this year.
It's still more than 15 months until the Iowa caucuses, and no one in the crowded field of Republicans with presidential ambitions has announced. But things are already happening in Iowa, especially for Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Paul has reached out to Iowans who never considered voting for his father, Ron Paul, who made a respectable third-place showing there in 2012.
He's still popular with his father's old supporters. Many of them are in the so-called liberty faction of the Iowa GOP.
A group of them meet Tuesday nights in a Des Moines hotel bar for a gathering called "Liberty on the Rocks." These 20 or so liberty Republicans are mostly veterans of the 2012 Iowa campaign of Ron Paul. To them, it was a movement of ideas, not just politics.
For 26-year-old IT specialist Adil Khan, it's about Austrian economics. It's about abandoning policies of tax, spend and borrow. As he explains it, "this idea that if you tax from one area, it's going to be affecting a certain industry or it's going to be affecting the industry as a whole, and it really doesn't create anything."
For 42-year-old Jeremy Goemaat, who owns a computer billing company, it's about a return to the gold standard. Or some other standard private bank notes: "Is it the government's right to outlaw other currencies? Now, if you want to put your trust in small bank X, go for it."
They typically share a profound libertarian mistrust of the federal government, Keynesian economics, the federal reserve, drug laws, and interventionist foreign policies.
Twenty-nine-year-old Lexi Nuzum, who has a sales job with a chemical company, says the liberty worldview came to her when she was a college student, listening to Ron Paul on the radio.

A New Brand Of Paul Gains Support In Iowa
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul,who recently assailed President Obamafor not acting more decisively against Islamic militants in Syria, sounded more like his old, cautious self after the presidents speech Wednesday night calling for air strikes.
Mr. Paul even agreed with Mr. Obamas statement that the Islamic State, known ISIL or ISIS, is not Islamic.
I think there was one important point that he was making about them not being Islamic or a true form of true Islam, Mr. Paul said on Fox News, pushing back on criticism of the speech from interviewer Sean Hannity. Im all in for saying we have to combat ISIS, but also the ultimate war, the long war, whoever knows how long ultimately, is going to need allies from civilized Islam.
In his speech, Mr. Obama had said that ISIS is not Islamic, adding that: No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISILs victims have been Muslim.
In his Fox comments, Mr. Paul also argued that past U.S. intervention in the Middle East has created chaos and fomented the spread of radical Islam, instead of squarely blaming Mr. Obama for the current crisis, as some of his fellow Republicans have done.
The nuanced remarks by Mr. Paul the most resistant voice to foreign intervention in the 2016 field contrasted with the no-holds-barred attack against Mr. Obama by a possible GOP rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. He called the presidents speech fundamentally unserious in a Fox News interview.
In a sign of his intention to position himself as a foil to Hillary Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination in 2016, Mr. Cruz repeatedly referred to the Obama-Clinton foreign policy.
On one point Messrs. Cruz and Paul were wholeheartedly in agreement: The president is violating the constitution by failing to seek permission from Congress to wage war. Mr. Obama has said he has the authority to take military action in Syria.
