FILE - In this March 7, 2013, file photo, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. is questioned by reporters in an elevator as he leaves a GOP policy meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington. Paul says he’s only "considering" running for president. But he’s doing much more than mull it over. The Kentucky Republican is unabashedly clearing a path to seek the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, with a series of early-voting state visits, a beefed-up political operation and a deliberate plan to appeal to mainstream voters and raise his national profile over the coming months.

In this photo taken May 1, 2013, supporters of the ruling party stand around a defaced poster of opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles during a May Day march in Caracas, Venezuela. Venezuelans have long been obsessed by politics, especially during the Chavez years, as the populist leader denounced his opponents as "the squalid ones" and the opposition tried vainly to oust him through a coup and a referendum. Many, however, say the tensions have reached a pitch not seen here since that 2002 coup, which briefly pushed Chavez from office. (AP Photo/Ariana Cubillos)
