McConnell in Kentucky
Politico ^ | 05/04/2010 | Ben Smith

Posted on 05/04/2010 9:33:27 AM PDT by speciallybland

Mitch McConnell endorsed Trey Grayson in Kentucky today, a fairly unusual move for the Minority Leader, and also a kind of doubling down: A Republican source tells me that James Dobson, who angrily switched candidates this week and endorsed Rand Paul, blames McConnell for allegedly misleading him on Paul's abortion credentials.

You’ve got MCConnell and John Cornyn walking all over the grassroots.

Throw the bums out including both of them.

Why does this remind me of the GOP establishment (steele, newtie, etc) 'doubling down' on Scozzafava?

Certainly, Grayson is not as bad as Scozzafava but he seems the classic GOP establishment country-clubber. Rand Paul (he says he is not his father - fingers crossed he's telling the truth) isn't ideal but he has Palin's endorsement and he is better than Doug Hoffman (he can speak intelligently and persuasively in a media interview). I think this is one non-TX election where I could vote for a Paul.

Is Trey Grayson a Democrat?

RINO Trey Grayson attacking Rand Paul on Medicare.

Disgusting Grayson pits Kentucky's grandparents against their grandchildren with Mediscare!.

"Opposing Medicare"
"Working Longer"
Rand Paul

I held my nose and voted for McConnell after the bailouts. And this is what I get? NEVER AGAIN!

Mitch believes the Commonwealth is his personal fiefdom.
He has no loyalty to anyone. His hatred of Senator Bunning, his superior in all ways, might in other times have cost the Republican party a seat in the Senate. He would have considered it a personal victory. His style of ego politics was instrumental in the Republican lose of the Governors mansion in Frankfort
