Is Rand Paul who hasn't served a day as Senator any better or worse than a Senator who is sworn in but does little too nothing and has no excuse?

Give the guy a week, month or year in office and lets see what he does. I think he will find out that it's not possible to do both even if he wanted to.

All that happened is that the Dems got their butt and ideals handed to them on a platter.....So I'm not so sure the sky is falling just yet.
