Reply #3: A lot of factors at play.

It disgusts me to no end to say this, but unlike the President, Jack Conway is Caucasian and his name does not sound “funny” to Kentuckian’s ears. So the Rand Paul campaign’s take on the Presidential vote isn’t the whole picture either. That being said, the Churches will probably campaign hard for Rand Paul due to their only “values” being hatred of women’s reproductive rights and their hatred of gay people being even stronger than that. So I really worry about the “values (of hate)” voters. The so-called “social issues” are what has absolutely enslaved Kentuckians to the Rethugs, people give up their freedom of thought over that crap. But then again, Governor Beshear won in a landslide a few years ago. So we can still get our backs up and vote against a really bad Republican candidate (and Rand Paul really makes Ernie Fletcher look good.)

It ain’t over ‘til it’s over, and I believe we got the best draw, Conway against Paul. Neither Democrat would have beaten Trey Grayson, and I don’t think Mongiardo came off as anything but a Republican pretending to be a Democrat, so that would have been Rand Paul running against Trayson’s doppelganger in November.
