Fun fact: if Rand Paul wins the 2016 Republican presidential nomination and chooses Paul Ryan as his running mate, the ticket would be "Paul-Ryan 2016." Of course, Rand Paul's advisers might pale at the prospect and, breaking with the typical conventions of campaign literature, refer to the candidates by their first names: then the ticket will be called "Rand-Paul 2016". Much better.
Sadly, it doesn't work the other way. A Paul Ryan-Rand Paul ticket just ends up as Ryan-Paul 2016, which isn't nearly as fun.
Contributions are a key part of the future of Vox
Readers rely on Vox for clear, nuanced coverage that not only illuminates the issues, but poses solutions, too. And we rely on help from our readers: Advertising and grants cover the majority of our costs, but we count on contributions to help us close the gaps in our budget. In fact, we’re looking to reach 95,000 individual contributions before the end of the year. Will you make the next contribution right now? Our average gift is just $20 — and it goes a long way in helping us keep our work free. Vox is here to help everyone understand what’s shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. Join that mission by making a contribution today.
