Poll shows Paul, Mongiardo have strong leads
The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Republican Rand Paul and Democrat Dan Mongiardo have strong leads in their U.S. Senate primary campaigns, according to a new statewide poll.

The Courier-Journal/WHAS-11 Bluegrass Poll found Paul, a Bowling Green doctor, leads Secretary of State Trey Grayson 42 percent to 27 percent in the GOP race. Mongiardo, the state's lieutenant governor, leads Attorney General Conway by a similar wide margin, 45 to 27 percent.

Undecided voters were at 19 percent in both polls.

The Republican poll had a margin of error of 4.7 percentage points and the Democrat poll's margin is 4.1 percentage points. It was based on phone interviews March 1-3 with 454 likely Republican voters and 590 likely Democratic voters. SurveyUSA used a recorded questionnaire in conducting the polls.

The remaining candidates polled at 5 percent or less.

The newspaper reported that the poll was conducted during a period when Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning, a retiring Republican, was coming under heavy criticism from Democrats for blocking a bill that provided an extension to unemployment payments.

Paul's campaign manger, David Adams, said he has seen other polls with Paul in a strong lead.

"Rand Paul has earned a lot of credibility on the issues Kentuckians care about, like a balanced federal budget, term limits, strong national defense and following the U.S. Constitution," he said in a statement.

Grayson's campaign head said Grayson is more concerned with the final election results.

"Once Kentucky Republicans learn more about the radical views of Rand Paul ... they will have a different opinion," Nate Hodson said.

Meanwhile Mongiardo's campaign spokesman says they weren't surprised by the numbers.

"They confirm that Daniel Mongiardo is the candidate Kentucky families trust the most to fight for them in the Senate," Kim Geveden said.

Conway spokeswoman Allison Haley said they are focusing on a "long-term campaign strategy."

"We are confident (Conway) is the best candidate," she said.

Paul, the son of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, led in the demographic groups based on age, gender, education and income level, according to the poll. Mongiardo leads across gender and age groups and is particularly strong with older voters, according to the poll.

The remaining candidates in the Republican race were Bill Johnson, 5 percent; Gurley Martin, 3 percent; John Stephenson, 2 percent; Jon Scribner, 1 percent. The remaining Democrats were Darlene Price, 4 percent; James Buckmaster, 3 percent; Maurice Sweeney 2 percent.

I don’t understand why people call Dr. Paul a truther, I’ve listened to the man for years, and never heard him make any such suggestions. What am I missing?

Kokesh is anti-bailout and corporate welfare.
Kokesh is anti-obamacare.
Kokesh is pro-free market.
Kokesh is against unconstitional wars (only congress can declare war).
Kokesh is pro border security.

Sounds pretty conservative to me, what’s not to like?

Why is Kokesh a traitor, simply because he is anti-war?

Without clicking on anything, I’m going to take wild guess and say you’ve signed up sometime since the new year.

Kokesh is a truther, a Code Pink activist, and a fraud. Much like yourself.

Now kindly piss off, troll.

In your last post that I tossed into the dumpster, you said you would be sticking around.

News flash - you won't be. We don't want any antiwar Kokesh pimps here.

The same Palin who Jihad Ron was bashing a few short months ago is now a Paultard hero.

Oh, he'd bash her again in a heartbeat if she were to start using his methods of spamming straw polls successfully.

That’s what I understand as well. I don’t have a lot of use for America’s Crazy Uncle in terms of foreign policy, and I really don’t like the way he sold his 2008 campaign out to the anti-war left...but he’s not completely off-base on many domestic issues. If Rand isn’t as far out on the isolationist fringe as his dad is, then I could get behind him. I’m not going to lump Rand Paul into the same slime pit as somebody like Adam Kokesh.

Kokesh is for Code Pink.
Code Pink gave money to terrorists.
They gave aid and comfort to the enemy.
Now you figure it out.
