I think Bunning is a gonner, and not because of any votes he may have cast, but because the Democrats are going to play on his stupid comments and lack of thought before speech. It looks like the senate seat is going to Mongiardo or Conway (hopefully Conway).

You’re right, KYJurisDoctor. I grew up as a Lincoln-Teddy Roosevelt-Eisenhower Republican, but the party left me long ago.

Rand Paul, son of Congressman Ron Paul, gauges support for Senate run in Bowling Green & Paducah!

Some politicians feel the need to travel to Washington, DC to ask permission to run for office or to obtain some regal blessing. Rand Paul, this week, will travel to Teresa’s Diner at 509 Gordon Ave Bowling Green to gauge support for a possible US Senate Run. Dr. Paul will be there for breakfast at 7AM Thursday May 7th.

May 8th, Dr. Paul will go to Paducah to speak to supporters. He will speak at the Gazebo (4PM) at 2nd and Broadway.

Wouldn’t it be great if politicians spent more time getting the approval of Kentuckians, and less time being “anointed” in DC?

We’d love to see you there; some of us still believe in elections not coronations.

*Dr. Rand Paul is an eye surgeon from Bowing Green, and the son of former Presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul.

*Dr. Rand Paul is the founder and chairman of Kentucky Taxpayers United.

Well written, Larry Dale. This is an extremely important race for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is symbolism and perception. The Democrats have the chance to do something important–develop a solid game plan coordinating national and Kentucky issues, run an aggressive and thoughtful campaign and win a seat that is hanging by a thread. They must not muff this chance.

“… the brand of the party of Lincoln no long plays all that well outside the South.”

Of course, you know Dale that the party brought it all on itself, and it hardly owns up to being a party of Lincoln anymore, preferring instead to invoke everyone else but “Honest Abe”.

Maybe, there is something to be said about the reason for the latter!
