For 2016, if your choice for POTUS was Rand Paul or any Democrat of your choice, Who would get your vote?

If Paul or "any democrat" manage to gain their respective party's nominations, their viewpoints will be so vanilla-fied that they'll be virtually the same candidate.For 2016, if your choice for POTUS was Rand Paul or any Democrat of your choice, Who would get your vote?
Here's a better question. People who think that the world is ten thousand years old (including Rand Paul) or people who actually follow evidence and science (most Democrats)?
I don't think that anyone who seriously believes in magic and is unable to understand reality has a place in elected offices. Not when you're making decisions with a large effect on reality. The only factors you consider ought to be real ones.
I hate to break this to you.....but, there won't be any atheists in the race...
There's plenty of room between atheism and creationism.

The big day is only three weeks away.Punxsutawney Phil over Rand Paul unless it's a long lasting winter.

I don't know of a politician that doesn't fluff to get the base to accept him. Obama did the same in many instances... He claims he is Christian and claimed he was against gay marriage when he ran for office... I bet those were both because of political purposes. I think he is Atheist/agnostic. Obama would not be able to run as an Atheist, hasn't been done before in America on that scale.There probably are quite a few, but they have to pretend not to be. Don't forget, religious adherence drops sharply when someone becomes more educated, and most political figures are quite well educated. It's likely we have a lot more atheists in elective office than you think. It's also likely that many who make a lot of pro-religious noise are also just pandering and don't mean a lot of it. Unfortunately, far too many of them actually do.
He endorses the viewpoints of young earth creationists and then refuses to say how old he thinks the earth is. There is only one answer. It's as old as the evidence shows. It's not a matter of opinion. So take your pick. He's either lying and waffling and pandering to those who do think that we should make decisions based on magic, or he is one of them. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming that he is honest.
Either way, not someone who can be trusted to make rational decisions based on the facts with any kind of significant power.
If the choice was Ron Paul, I would have selected him.

Truth be told I care little about a man's position on the age of the earth. I know many such persons that still have a better grasp of the necessity for the basic structures of modern America.
Senator Paul is one of the few voices arguing against the Civil Rights Act and largely stands opposed to most of the existing government programs and Departments.
The bolded is a plus for you? Yikes.
