On this last note, Conway is being highly disingenuous in attacking BP, because BP is one of the biggest funders of Jack Conway's

A commenter over at Blue Grass Bulletin wants to know. Regarding Grayson's "phone skit" at the University of Kentucky, he writes:Uh, Marc, are you sure that the voice on the phone in this video was Trey Grayson?It sounded to me like it was Les Fugate, Trey's spokesperson.If so, don't forget that Les works on a state salary and if he was pretending to be Trey on the phone, I have a few questions.

How much did Rand Paul Make today?

2009-11-05T23:24:00.000-06:00

According to Rand Paul graphs, Rand brought in about $20,000 today.* Not a huge amount of money. But it was spread out among many other conservative candidates. I don't know the exact amount because it looks like they haven't adjusted back from daylight savings time, so I estimated what the 1st hour of tonight was an added it.Coming Soon.http://www.randsteaparty.com/ Dec 16th.*I don't know the

Just a reminder about the Multi-Candidate money bomb today. My preference, and I might take some flack for this, is to donate to Rand Paul first. Then if you max out, donate to other candidates.In my opinion Rand Paul is the only one who has a chance to win of the candidates listed, and not only a chance, but a good chance.My goal, is try try and make sure the liberty movement actually gets 1

A Student Blog at the U of K reports on the recent forum at the MIK Library. "Basically, from listening to the candidates, I was able to come away with 3 things:1) Nothing is more important to Bill Johnson than the American Flag. (That being said, Bill’s a great guy and a solid conservative, but it’s going to be hard for him to win on Patriotism alone, which is what he’s trying to do. The war was

Cornyn says he won’t spend money in contested primaries.“We will not spend money in a contested primary,” Sen. John Cornyn, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, told ABC News in a telephone interview today.“There’s no incentive for us to weigh in,” said Cornyn, R-Texas. “We have to look at our resources. . . .

As I mentioned previously, Rand Paul had a good showing at the Senate Conservatives conference call last night. TPMDC has more: DeMint said there are "two good candidates" in Kentucky, but seemed to be leaning toward Rand Paul over Trey Grayson. Erickson noted that Grayson was once a Democrat and now is the "favorite" of the Republican establishment while Paul (Ron Paul's son) is "anything but

Erick Erickson, editor of RedState.com campaign recently issued a blog post regarding the NY-23 race: “First, the GOP now must recognize it will either lose without conservatives or will win with conservatives. In 2008, many conservatives sat home instead of voting for John McCain. Now, in NY-23, conservatives rallied and destroyed the Republican candidate the establishment chose.” “I have

Apparently after Rand Paul raised over $1,000,000 to his opponent's around $600,000 this is being painted as a bad thing. The Custard Pie has an interesting discussion of some rather "loose" numbers put forth by PageOne Kentucky:"With the media, there's often the case of lies, damn lies, and statistics...Here we go again. PageOne conveniently leaves out the fact that Paul raised $1,010,668.00 of

Except maybe according to Grayson.According to Wikipedia, Mitch McConnell was born in Alabama. So, since he's not a 5th Generation Kentuckian like Grayson, perhaps Grayson thinks we shouldn't listen to him about who to support in this race? Does Grayson think McConnell shouldn't be a Kentucky Senator? I wonder if McConnell knows this is how Grayson feels about him.If McConnell's not an outsider,

More commentary from around the blog-o-sphere about Trey Grayson's accusation of Rand Paul not being a "real Kentuckian."
