Well, them, and about 60% of all Kentucky Republicans.
Paul beat Grayson by almost 2-to-1, crushing Grayson amongst self-described Conservatives and Moderates and losing to him only amongst self-described Liberals.
Suffice it to say, Rand Paul is the overwhelming choice of Kentucky Republicans to represent the great State of Kentucky in the US Senate. So I guess the only question I have is, do YOU support the 2010 Republican US Senate nominee for Kentucky?
Or would you rather that Jack Conway took the seat?
nitpicking here, but Kentucky is a Commonwealth.
His Dad also wins straw polls all the time, do you think that means the great majority of Republicans actually want Ron Paul for President? The Paul family seem to be very good at organizing, but that won't make either of them particularly good general election candidates for statewide offices.
Yes, I would vote for Rand Paul over the Democrat. I just don't think Rand was the better candidate. You watch, it is going to turn out that he will have all sorts of wierd views to defend, wierd associates he will have to explain, etc.
The American public does not want Libertarians. I realize Rand is not his father, but once the public finds out what he really stands for it may just make Rand seriously flawed enough to be vulnerable to the Democrat. The establishment candidate was suitably conservative as I recall, and would probably have coasted into the Senate with no problem.
