For the republicans, Secretary of State Trey Grayson has been considered the presumptive nominee. But -- Bowling Green opthamologist Rand Paul is a wild card -- especially if he can tap into the national fundraising support of his father, former presidential candidate Ron Paul.

So far -- Grayson leads 37% to 26% in the Republican primary. Despite the 11 point lead, that's a strong early showing for the relatively unknown eye doctor.

[Kotin]

I am quite happy with those numbers..

[torchbearer]

still 30% undecided.

[TruthisTreason]

Despite the party hacks attempting to crown the next senator.. the people are making their voices heard!

OUR TIME IS COMING!

[TonySutton]

-11 points is a great start for a relative unknown. Rand is doing awesome!

[Jeremy]

with 30% undecided!

There is another article from WHAS (news station here in Ky). It goes a little more into detail than the first article up there.

There is another article from WHAS (news station here in Ky). It goes a little more into detail than the first article up there.

from article:

If the election were held today, Conway would defeat republican Rand Paul by 5% with 19% undecided.

Rand Paul, the son of former presidential candidate Ron Paul, might be the biggest surprise of any in any of this poll’s results.

Paul is especially strong against the democrat Dan Mongiardo, figuring in the 2.3 % margin of error, Paul is in a virtual dead heat with the Lt. Governor.

Considering that democrats hold a roughly 2-1 advantage in party registration in Kentucky.

[Epic]

Absolutely tremendous results.

Paul just announced like two weeks ago, and we haven't had our first real moneybomb.

Tremendous results. And the primary is still like 9 months away.

In the head to head matchups:

Grayson: 44%
Conway: 37%

Grayson: 46%
Mongiardo: 40%

Paul: 38%
Conway: 43%

Paul: 41%
Mongiardo: 43%

"Mainstream Republicans will be shocked by the early strength for Rand Paul. While among moderates, Trey Grayson has a commanding 50% - 19% lead, among conservatives who may be more motivated to vote in the climate of the off-year election, Grayson leads only by seven points, 35% - 28%.

Great news for Rand Paul ahead of his scheduled "moneybomb" internet fundraiser on August 20. It paints him as a legitimate candidate and not a fringe candidate. Trey Grayson plans his unsuspenseful "formal announcements" of his Senate run in a string of Kentucky towns and cities August 26 and 27."

The Rand Paul campaign should buy up that big advertising spot on that kywordsmith site just for the hell of it since it's cheap:

WOW, im shocked at this poll.

I expected Grayson to be over 50%, this is excellent for Rand.

[Cowlesy]

it's no big deal. we'd be doing the same thing. In reality they're probably worried because you'd think it'd be Grayson 90/Paul 10 given how long Grayson has been in elected politics.

I can't believe it's that close this early when Paul has raised 1/3rd what Grayson has.

This is a big win and should provide motivation to push the moneybomb.

[itshappening]

Grayson has been SOS since 2003 !!!


These numbers are really bad for him!

[amisspelledword]

haha! this is really awesome. ditto to what everyone has already said.

[Jeremy]

We need to start projects to get his name recognition up with Republicans.

[georgiaboy]

yay!
I'm so used to seeing the numbers for candidates I favor in the low to mid single digits.

THIS IS ASTOUNDING!!!

The undecideds really says a lot, too, in Rand's favor.

The tide is shifting.

!!And Calipari is headcoaching the Wildcats!! :P

[Brett]

With that kind of support, and our kind of grassroots and money, he has a serious chance of winning this race.

Run Rand Run!

And consider Grayson has been campaigning STATEWIDE for 8 years... Rand -- 3 months. :cool:

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!


Couldn't have been a better time for this poll either, right before our money bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D

[max]

We must keep pounding grayson on the fact that he was a bill clinton delegate

[Cowlesy]

While Grayson was campaigning for Bill Clinton in 1994, Rand Paul was founding Kentucky Taxpayers United.

Actions speak louder than words. The past may be indicative of the future.

Vote a known quantity -- not some flim-flam/flip-flopper. Vote Rand Paul.

While Grayson was Who? :confused:

Rand's words to me were "the money bomb is everything".

[Matt Collins]

We need to start projects to get his name recognition up with Republicans.I'm working on a methodology for that right now.

[koob]

Anyone on the fence about donating to Rand better change their mind after seeing these results! This is great news!

[Epic]

If Rand knows the moneybomb is everything, why isn't he taking control of his dad's facebook account??

[Jeremy]

I'm working on a methodology for that right now.

well work harder! :D

[Matt Collins]

well work harder! :DI just checked out 6 very dense books from the local university library. If you would like to come over and read them for me and write up a report that would help. Or if you would like to give me some money so that I don't have to work as many hours and I can instead focus on the campaign, that would be helpful as well. ;)

[Epic]

is Runrandrun stuck at 2275??

"2,275 pledges at 3:19 pm EST 8/18/09"

It likely needs to be updated...

I tried pledging and it stalled my computer. Site is probably messing up.

This needs to be a talking point. Grayson will be toast.

good point! wise words for us all! i am psyched!!!
the poll results have Rand Paul being strong
and way ahead of many of the contenders.
Grayson's lead could be fleeting... if he moves
in on the Lt. Gov's support, he looses MORE people
to Rand Paul, who are totally Republican in mindframe.
jack conway could be a flash-in-the-pan without a follow-up
