How big a victory do you want? If Rand needs our help with campaign strategy, he doesn't deserve to win. I am comfortable with the professionals running this. Hilary was up by 12 at one one point. Meaningless. The only poll that counts is the one on election day. |

I think the openly gay, anti gun mayor of Lexington may very well win. I hate to see an anti gun liberal team up with yardmouth.
To me, it seems Paul has had enough. |

It seems Rand Paul didn't learn anything from Trump. |

Gray is hiding the gay issue around here because it will destroy him in this area. Oddly Rand is running an ad about his charity eye surgeries instead of his fight for privacy and fight against progressivism. I think he is saving his war coffers or they are depleted due to prez run.

Maybe this is the reason that Rand Paul is not running very hard for the Senate seat. This website gives Jim Gray a 10.6% chance of winning.

Rand can't run on the coattails of Trump, because there aren't gonna be any.
And that means the Dems get Congress, because KY was always a sure thing for us Republicans. |

Three ridiculous assertions in one post. That may be record. Who's coattails did Rand Paul run on to get elected before? Was it John McCain or Mitt Romney? Those were some coattails. Why would an incumbent need anybody's "coattails" for this election against the only openly gay candidate that I can remember running in a statewide election that has never held any office above the municipal level? Ky has "always" been a sure thing for Republicans?!! Sir, you must be very young or have a very short memory. I can remember a time when republicans were a very rare thing in Ky. "Always" is a very long time. Democrats dominated politics in Ky from the Civil War until Ronald Reagan ran for President. Even then, state offices were firmly in the hands of democrats. Conservative politics was firmly entrenched in the southern democrats(dixiecrats). Only when the national democrat party veered so dramatically to the left, did southern conservatives take refuge in the republican party. |

There really seems to be zero concern about Rand Paul not winning. He is going through the motions of the election process but he isn't fighting this time like he had to do 6 years ago.
I still remember getting a RoboCall from Dick Cheney telling me to vote against Rand in the primary. The purpose of that is a lot more clear this year, seeing how the Bush's are supporting Hillary now and the GOPe turned on Trump because he wasn't one of them. |

This much is certain. That gay democrat mayor of Lexington, who has over seen a spike in violence throughout Lexington, is a damn liar. He says Paul is another typical career politician. That is certainly one thing he is not. Like him or not, that is an asinine proclamation/declaration. He would be better off financially to be in practice. He is one who will walk the talk... alone at times. No one owns him.

The fact that he's gay means nothing to me. I really don't care what consenting adults do behind closed doors. Rand will win, Trump will carry Kentucky, but Hillary is going to be our next president. The most important thing we can do is hold Congress, and flip the KY house to Republican so Bevin can do what good he can in our state.

If Hillary wins as President then holding Congress really doesn't matter since Ryan and McConnell are helping Hillary win and caved to Obama over and over.
The state level is different though. I would like to see the Republican's take the House but I don't see it happening. Hart needs to beat McKee but McKee is well liked and well funded. It seems anyone Republican in Scott county is pretty much on their own as far as getting funding and self promotion. Maybe there are other races that RPK is planning on flipping because they are pretty much absent when it comes to helping people here. |

I voted for him 2012, but he made some statements this cycle that really turned me off on him. The Libertarian party tried picking up too many Bern victims and have given up a lot of real libertarian principles in my opinion. |

KY has a good track record of protecting gun rights, I'm not worried about Bevin signing any bill that would put any more of a burden on gun owners. |

A republican state government isn't going to fix fiscal issues and then attack guns. It would make no sense for them to do that. |

My last post was directed more at RotaryJihad's post than at your's, but had a little some for you to consider, also.

The Georgetown paper today mentioned that Thayer, Pratt, and Linder raised more than their Democrat competition. Linder and Thayer currently hold seats, with Thayer in the senate. Those seem to be pretty solid. Pratt faced Tackett in a special election this spring and lost by a couple hundred votes. Pratt sounds pretty confident in beating Tackett in a full election, so that would be one seat. No mention of Hart so it is very doubtful he will beat McKee.

I am definitely listening Softpoint. You explained the fight over the speaker of the house a few months ago and that has stuck. I'm spending more time on my house race choices because of your points.
My beef with the Republican house candidate (Provancher) is that she told me over a private message in Facebook, (direct quote) "Riggs can be a dirty politician and for that reason, I chose not to fill out questionnaires as I didn't want him to use anything that I put in writing out of context. I wanted to run on my own qualifications. " . This is functionally equivalent to a person applying for a job and wanting an interview without sending me a resume first. Her main qualification seems to be that she's not Riggs. Meanwhile Riggs is a long-time incumbent. I can look at his voting record and decide if he does what I'd like done. This isn't just the NRA questions either, she's not responded to other candidate outlets and barely has a web presence. The only reason I'm continuing to even look is that she took the time to personally respond to me and the fight over Stumbo staying speaker. I understand about control of the house, but man... I just can't accept a candidate who won't even bother to respond to any questionnaires or post good info. |

I wonder who will win? Paul or the openly gay mayor of Lexington? I know for a fact the openly gay mayor of Lexington is a lying sack of shit. He lied about not being a career politician, yet calling Paul one. The openly gay mayor of Lexington has held public office longer than Paul.
I sincerely hope that anti gun punk loses and then soon rots in his grave. |
