In most years, the party machinery would work to dispatch a candidate like Kelly. But such interventions have backfired time and again this year in an election cycle marked by deep anti-establishment hostility.
Paton's patina of establishment backing — in just the last week, he's gotten money from Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) PAC, the House Conservatives Fund and Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) — hasn't stopped Kelly from claiming momentum.
There's data to back it up: Kelly outpaced Paton's fundraising total for the pre-primary period, collecting $79,000 between July 1 and August 4, compared with Paton's $46,500.
The above is even more reason to VOTE KELLY!
“Jesse’s Opponent in the Primay RINO Paton-who Giffords once dated-was aggressively recruited by GOP establishment leaders in Washington....”
Really?? Disgusting whore (Paton, that is).
Go Jesse!!
