KY-Sen. 2010: In Senate race in Kentucky, the son also rises; 'Tea party' buoys Rand Paul's bid

Just days before the party primaries in Kentucky, outsider Senate candidate Rand Paul holds a double-digit lead over Secretary of State Trey Grayson, the "establishment" Republican anointed by the GOP's Washington leadership - including Senate minority leader and fellow Kentuckian Mitch McConnell.

The race is the latest test of the strength of the anti-Washington sentiment fueling insurgent campaigns like Mr. Paul's across the country - and would be a bitter rebuke for Mr. McConnell from the state party he helped build.

Mr. McConnell and Texas Sen. John Cornyn, head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, strongly backed Mr. Grayson in the race to replace retiring Republican Sen. Jim Bunning. But Mr. Paul, a Bowling Green ophthalmologist, has emerged from the state's powerful "tea party" movement as the candidate to beat.

Sorry, but freepmail doesn’t work.

If you are going to try and stop trolling, you have to do it.

You didn’t bother checking did you. BTW how many times have you personally e-mailed Palin back before she became governor?

Not much I take it.

Here is some advice - next time you Palinbots start trolling Tea Party threads, know what you are talking about.

Nope. I’m in KY and the reason most people are leaning to Paul is his platform. They are tired of the usual politics and see Paul as less government. We all like Palin, but she doesn’t tell us how to vote.

Ron named his son after Ayn Rand. That’s even better than a tattoo.
