I'm reading a poll today from the news aggregate site Memeorandum, regarding the Kentucky race for Senate. Rand Paul, as I have mentioned several times on this site before is an excellent advocate for free market ideals and would make a stalwart addition to the Senate of the United States. His voice is needed in the Den of Thieves.....
Memeorandum has a Rasmussen article linked showing various polls for the race -
The first Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 survey in the state finds the two leading GOP candidates beating one top Democratic contender but struggling against the other....Rand Paul, an opthamologist and the son of Congressman Ron Paul, also has announced his bid for the GOP senatorial nomination in Kentucky. Paul beats Mongiardo by five points – 43% to 38%. Six percent (6%) prefer another candidate, and 13% are not sure.
But Paul trails, (Dem), Conway by four – 42% to 38% - in that hypothetical match-up.
So it looks to me like we in the conservative/liberty right-blogosphere and grassroots in Kentucky still have our work cut out for us with promoting Paul. Ideas readers? We need a true-conservative in the Senate, Kentucky, (God knows not my state of California), can send him there. Go here to see Rand on Glenn Beck with Napolitano guest-hosting. Go here for Rand Paul's campaign site. Go here for Carl Wicklander's most recent action alert.
Read my article on Icaucus, then join, have him put on the vetting list, along with the other guy. Once properly vetted, they will promote and endorse him. It's worth a try, I'm doing it with several candidates here in MI.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the plug. Someone should tell Rasmussen that this is the senatorial race, not the gubernatorial one!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually very optimistic about this. It's still very early and there are a lot of undecided's up for grabs with seven months before even the primary. We're doing a great job so far, but we need to keep it up!
That is he doing this well in the polling so far - beating one candidate and within the margin of error with the other - is spectacular news. This is going up on the Rand Paul blog.
I wonder how Ron Paul would do if he ran on a Democratic ticket. He'd get Dems who vote on party lines. He'd get libertarian Republicans. He'd only lose socialist/statist Dems and loser Republicans who want a candidate to tell them that despite feeling like losers they're morally superior to various groups of people. Statist Dems and loser Republicans (I know this is a gross generalization) are a minority, so maybe a Democratic Paul could win.
ReplyDelete@ Rotti - I'll check that out, sounds like a great cause.
ReplyDelete@ Carl - Lol, I didn't even catch that. It is spectacular news and shows at the same time that it ain't over....tell me how I can help!
@ CJ - You may be onto something there, I would vote for him or anyone like him on the Democratic ticket....interesting theme.
Looking good so far for Dr Paul. A little more name recognition should push him higher.
ReplyDeleteIn CT, Peter Schiff has a much tougher row to hoe but it's still early and the $1M campaign chest he has should help him get his message of fiscal responsibility out.
And there are still a lot of undecided voters in both states.
@ Chris - It is, I think that he could pull this off. Nothing would make me happier.....
ReplyDeleteWe need more candidates like Rand Paul to run.
