The final poll of the GOP Senate primary race from Kentucky television station WHAS shows Rand Paul coasting to what looks like an overwhelming victory over Trey Greyson:
It’s the Senate race the entire nation is watching — as Trey Grayson — the choice of some of the biggest names in the Republican party is trying to overcome a tidal wave of tea – as Rand Paul is coasting on that tea party wave.
The Rand Paul phenomenon in Kentucky shows no signs of ebbing tonight – as the Bowling Green opthamologist’s double digit lead continues over Secretary of State Trey Grayson. He says his message is behind his 16 point lead.
Paul 49%
Grayson 33%
Stephenson 3%
Martin 3%
Scribner 1%
Undecided 11%“I come from the Tea Party movement,” Paul said Wednesday, “and the tea party movement really feels like government is out of control, that we’re being consumed by this debt.”
As Trey Grayson campaigned in Louisville this morning, some may suggest the dark clouds that hung over him were a metaphor for the poll numbers..
“We’re seeing a very close race,” Grayson insisted, “A jump ball if you will and we’re going to finish strong and one of the things you’re not going to see us do is quit.
That’s usually what you hear from guys who are about to lose, of course.
It’s not over yet, of course, but things are looking very good in the Bluegrass State.
We need more politicians like Paul who directly and satisfactorily confront criticism on the spot the way he does, especially the way he did during the most recent debate.
