Rand Paul Addresses Packed House at Berkeley

BERKELEY, CA -- Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) received a warm welcome from a packed audience at the University of California-Berkeley on Wednesday afternoon, as he addressed the Berkeley Forum at International House.

Yet there were quite a few conservative Republicans in the audience as well, on hand to hear one of their party's new leaders--and, many expect, a likely contender for the presidential nomination in 2016.

"Maybe," Paul said, when asked by the moderator whether he would run for president.
