I Am Officially Calling For Trey Grayson To Drop Out Of the Senate Race

[dannno]

Come on Trey... you're down in the polls, momentum certainly isn't on your side, you've been out-raised by grassroots activists against your own DC insiders and now the former Republican Vice Presidential candidate has backed your opponent. There is no logical reason for you to stay in this race. Step down and throw your support behind Rand.

:cool:

[Matt Collins]

Perhaps he should instead run for governor...

[pacelli]

I've always thought his name was Grey.

but... hes a fifth generation kentuckian!!!!!!!!



:p

[Matt Collins]

Yeah.... when Trey comes out of this race he'll be damaged goods. If he wants to salvage his political career and avoid an embarrassing defeat he should run for something else in another election cycle at a later time.

Come on Trey, do the smart and politically expedient thing. You don't want to put yourself, your career, and your family through a contested primary like this!

As your political advisor I concur Trey. You should drop out, give your money to Rand with your endorsement.

[itshappening]

He should just quit before he damages himself. he is already running a negative campaign

[pacelli]

Are you saying, essentially, that you would be willing to endorse Grey Treyson for governor if he dropped out of the senate race?

People think about how much it would help Grey if he got an endorsement from Matt Collins.

Rand Paul Has Kentucky Senate Election In The Bag

http://www.unitedliberty.org/articles/4878-rand-paul-has-kentucky-senate-election-in-the-bag

Rand Paul (http://www.randpaul2010.com/) is the next Senator of Kentucky. The election is all but wrapped up.
Most people will immediately respond that it is way too early to make such a statement; how can we possibly know what will happen over the next nine to ten months? I will concede the point that we can never be sure how an election will turn out ten months before the vote, but all evidence points towards a Rand Paul win come November.

1) Polling
Rand has seen meteoric rise in the polls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_Kentucky,_2010) over the past five months. He went from losing 26-37 in August to establishment pick Trey Grayson (http://www.treygrayson.com/), to leading Grayson 44-25 in December. Also, while he was picking up this lead there was an increasing number of undecided voters from 17% in August to 32% in December. The momentum is clearly on Rand Paul’s side.
2) Campaign
From the beginning Rand has arguably run a stronger campaign. Despite never being elected to office in Kentucky, Paul had the advantage of being Congressman Ron Paul’s son. This allowed him to make his announcement on national television that he would be running for Senate. While Trey Grayson attacked this as an example of how Paul was an “outsider” to Kentucky, the famous comeback by Paul swung this war of words in his favor, “I’ve been a Kentuckian longer than Grayson’s been a Republican!”
3) Fundraising
After accusing Paul of being an outsider, Grayson made what some would call his fatal mistake in the campaign: host a $500 per plate fundraiser in Washington, D.C. where 17 of 23 Republican Senators in attendance voted for the bank bailout. Paul railed on the bank bailout from the beginning, and this fund raiser invigorated supporters of Paul who raised over $1 million in the third quarter, dwarfing Grayson’s $642,800.
4) Tea Party Candidate
The one major thing Rand Paul has done that has allowed him to surge in the Kentucky Senate Campaign is distinguish himself as a Tea Party Candidate. This goes back to Grayson’s “Bailout” fundraiser. At Fancy Farm, a major political event in Kentucky, Rand YouTube - Fancy Farm 2009 Rand Paul (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjuNmvEUgk8). Between Rand’s public opposition to the bailout and Grayson’s support of bailout-voting Senators, Rand is clearly embodying the Tea Party image. Along with his fiscal conservatism and general belief in small government, Paul truly has become the “Tea Party” candidate in this Senate Race.

5) Kentucky Favors Republicans
Kentucky has two Republican Senators and overwhelmingly went for McCain in the 2008 election. 2010 will not be an easy year for Democrats, and Rand is polling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_Kentucky,_2010) 14% above Daniel Mongiardo and 8% above Jack Conway. Though these are not “blow out” totals, he has consistently gained against these two candidates. Perhaps I am not giving them nearly enough credit, but both candidates will need to spend more money as the Democratic Primary is much closer with only recently (in the last poll) Conway passing Mongiardo. As I said, unless Democrats have a major turnaround before November, the “Tea Party” Republican candidate is all but certain to win the election.
If the Paul campaign continues to campaign as hard as they have the past six months and reinforce Paul’s conservative values, I think this campaign is all but decided.

"pro choice marijiuana candidate"

f u dude!

isnt this slander?

I believe he is saying Trey Grayson would have a better chance at winning the GOP primary in the gubernatorial race rather than the Senate one. Which is true.

Danno, I know this is just a joke post, but maybe we should start emailing local and state party members in Kentucky with this sentiment. They will see that Grayson's campaign is over, and focus their funds in Rand's direction. It is by far the smartest thing to do at this point.

[belian78]

not wanting to be a raincloud on parade day, but there was one time during the last presidential primary that ole John Mccain was merely an afterthought and 'like a phoenix he was reborn from the ashes'.

dont celebrate yet, keep working hard.

This is not a good thing to promote. Rand doesn't have the race sewn up, he has a massive fight on his hand unlike anything we have seen before.

I wasn't suggesting censorship. I'm just saying this isn't a good idea to promote this sort of thing. By pasting it over here you are promoting it. I'm not trying to stop you, I'm trying to persuade you. :)
