Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) made one of the boldest and most memorable statements on the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Mo., going a place members of his party wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.
Now, he's literally gone to the place — as in, Ferguson — where he's meeting with the NAACP, the Urban League and other church and business leaders about criminal justice.
A cynic would say that Paul, a likely 2016 presidential contender, is simply trying to expand his appeal.
That cynic wouldn't be entirely wrong.
