Rand Paul's early lead a sign of party division

Republican Elliot Polach is disenchanted with his party's leaders in
Washington, many of whom voted for a bank bailout and other big-ticket
spending bills in the past year.

These days, he'd rather be called a conservative than a Republican.

Polach, the 18-year-old founder of the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party in
Paducah, is emblematic of deep and widespread frustration that has surfaced
in Republican primaries nationwide.

..and if you think the GOP is in bad shape.
you should hear the Liberals "whistling past the graveyard" in the state.

Yup, that's about right.

I don’t think the Republican Party is in that bad of shape in KY, except in my district. Rand Paul’s mounting a strong challenge to the party status quo in KY is healthy. Fights and arguments are where ideas are expressed and policy formulated. If a few RINOS vote ‘Rat then the re-energized conservatives will get votes from independents (this is happening right now in a virtual land-shift) and conservative Democrats.

That’s exactly how Pres. Reagan (God Rest His Soul) was elected; and given analysis of recent polling data, nothing major has changed since then.
