alone ahead of him in the polls..
I lived in KY as a kid and I know how it can be there but seriously Rand Paul is a certifiable nut job! Everyone has seen it and yet he still polls ahead of one of the better candidates in the country.
Heres a snippet from the couriers endorsement of Jack Conway for Senate
http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20101024/OPINION01/310240024/Editorial-Endorsements-Jack-Conway-for-U-S-Senate-in-Kentucky"Dr. Paul's campaign, on the other hand, has been a loopy journey of bizarre positions, often followed by reversals or clarifications. At various times, he has questioned the government's right to prevent racial discrimination by businesses, brushed off the need for the Americans with Disabilities Act (there are at least 12,000 disabled veterans alone in Kentucky) and tough mine-safety regulations, suggested federal anti-drug programs aren't essential in this state, floated the idea of a $2,000 deductible for Medicare and briefly seemed to endorse a regressive 23 percent sales tax to replace income taxes.
As these positions suggest, Dr. Paul has a national ideology but little understanding of Kentucky. At its core, his anti-tax, anti-spending agenda appears not to recognize that Kentucky receives far more in money from the federal government than it sends to Washington. At best, Dr. Paul's odd positions might embarrass Kentucky. At worst, he could cast votes that would inflict serious harm on the state.
Kentuckians should not gamble on a candidate far out of the political mainstream. They should send Mr. Conway to the Senate"
