KY-Sen: Rand Paul surging

by kos

Research 2000 for Daily Kos. 3/15-17. Likely voters. MoE 4%, 5% for primary samples. (8/31-9/2/2009 results)

Republican Senate primary
Rand Paul (R) 40
Trey Grayson (R) 28

Democratic Senate primary
Daniel Mongiardo (D) 47
Jack Conway (D) 31

On the Democratic side, Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo has significantly expanded his lead over Kentucky's Attorney General.

For the GOP, Paul, son of Ron, has reversed the primary numbers in the last six months, running an outsider campaign that is pure teabagger with a dash of anti-war fervor. He is certainly giving the GOP establishment fits, especially the Mitch McConnell machine which is backing the secretary of state. Even Dick Cheney appears involved, panicking at the thought of an anti-war libertarian undermining neocons from within. On the other hand, Paul appears to be the GOP's strongest general election option:

Rand Paul (R) 46
Daniel Mongiardo (D) 37

Rand Paul (R) 45
Jack Conway (D) 39

Trey Grayson (R) 43
Daniel Mongiardo (D) 38

Trey Grayson (R) 44
Jack Conway (D) 36

Certainly not as hopeful as last week's SurveyUSA poll of the race. Both Democrats suffer from high undecideds from Democratic respondents -- in the other of 20-26 percent. Less than 10 percent of Republicans are undecided. But there aren't enough Democrats to make up these gaps, so to be competitive, they will have to close their sizable deficits among independent voters.

Doesn’t seem to be. I heard him on Fox in a fairly long interview and he seems very conservative.

Kelley’s OK - I was just thinking of someone else is all.

There is absolutely nothing more important to us these days than the war in Afghanistan or Iraq. Everything is copacetic in DC right now. Long live the empire!

As far as I know, Rand Paul is against the War in Iraq, but in favor of the War in Afghanistan.

But never mind that. You know what's most important to me, today, right now?

He'd be one more Senate vote against Obamacare.... IF he were already in the Senate. :-(

You’d have to be a nutcase to believe the official sanitized version of the 9/11 attacks.

Right.

Bush did it, not muslims. Got it.

Yeah, because the only other version besides the contrived official one is that "Bush did it" and Muslims had nothing to do with it. Sure.
