The libertarian-minded Paul has a certain appeal to the leave-me-alone traditions of the Vermont outback - Naylor recalls meeting him at a 1995 secession conference in South Carolina - but it's not really a leave-me-alone state. Taxes are high. Government services are extensive. It's the only state without a balanced budget requirement, but its bonds are top-rated.
