The Club for Growth is hustling to put up the signatories of its pledge to repeal whatever health care reform bill gets through Congress. The big names among the (so far) 21 candidates: Kentucky’s Rand Paul and Florida’s Marco Rubio, Republicans who have stunned the establishment GOP by becoming serious contenders for Senate seats. Patrick Hughes, who’s having somewhat less success challenging Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) in Illinois, is also on board, as are two of the Republican candidates for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.)  seat.

I was glad to read that Rand Paul has signed the Repeal pledge. Fairness requires me to add, though, that Paul's major primary opponent Trey Grayson, has also signed on.
