Grayson Campaign Statement on Palin's Endorsement of Rand

[bobbyw24]

In a statement, Grayson campaign manager Nate Hodson questioned if Palin knows what she needs to know about Paul.

“Secretary Grayson has a great deal of admiration for Governor Palin. We agree with her 100% that Kentucky needs a U.S. Senator who will shake things up in Washington. My guess is that if Governor Palin knew Rand Paul’s true colors she would think twice about offering her support of his misguided agenda. Paul’s support of pro-abortion policies, his plan to return terrorists to the battlefield, his opposition to our troops’ work in Afghanistan and his opposition to federal drug laws are just some of the areas where he finds himself hopelessly out of the maintream,” Hodson said.

Admiration....hmmmm, now why would he say that....maybe because she is popular

I also think it's insulting for Grayson to challenge Palin's intelligence basically saying "No, woman, you don't know what you're doing and should know better than to be endorsing Rand Paul"

agreed. "you aren't smart enough and didn't do your homework" is what is insinuated there

Oh come on, how long would it take for me to find either of you two insulting Palin's intelligence in your posting history :rolleyes:

LOL and that's Grayson?

[Matt Collins]

Yes questioning Palin's judgement and sound mind will go over great with the 912/Glenn Beck types in KY :rolleyes:

What an idiot....

I don't believe I've ever said she was stupid. But what I say doesn't matter anyway :)

That doesn't matter. These posters don't speak for the Paul campaign like Hodson does for the Grayson campaign. This was incredibly stupid by the Greyson campaign.

It's almost like they are just a bunch of kids mad at the world.

"This isn't fair! Mitch promised ME. This was my nomination for Senate, mine mine mine! Screw you Rand!"

[Kevin_Kennedy]

It's almost like they are just a bunch of kids mad at the world.

That sounds about right. He thought he was going to coast into the Senate and it got taken away from him. His talking points against Rand are obviously not amounting to anything politically in Kentucky, so his lashing out is simply amusing and mostly damaging to his own campaign.

Seriously. In one statement, Trey and Nate question Sarah Palin's intelligence, and then make baseless attacks that sound like they're right out of Mommy's blogposts.


BUSHLEAGUE.

[KAYA]

This whole lie Grayson is putting out about Rand being pro-choice needs to be squashed. Rand is pro-life and his campaign should counter by letting the people know Grayson was a Clinton supporter who nominated a rubber stamp of the far left to the Supreme Court, freaking Ruth Bader Ginsburg!

Seems like the Grayson campaign is all like "ahhh, we'll just sit back and watch Rand's campaign implode as people find out he's pro choice and pro marijuana!!"

Should be....any day now...


*crickets*















*crickets*



They still think it's the 90s.

[BamaFanNKy]

In a weird way Trey is like Hillary Clinton. He did his time in the party licked the right boots and expected this to be a cake walk to the nod. Then comes this young energetic guy (unlike Obama Rand has ideas that are different than the establishment) and knocks you out of your "expected" seat.

[Allan Bartlett]

Sometimes it's fun just to watch other campaigns implode by themselves. How sad Trey.

You gotta wonder if Hodson is gonna get another campaign manager job if things continue this way through the election.

And you gotta wonder if the smears are gonna cause him to not be so popular with the "activists" he was supposedly popular with prior to all this.



Hodson has left the Washington, D.C., office of Congressman Brett Guthrie where he has served as Communications Director since January. Hodson served as Finance Director on Senator Mitch McConnell’s successful re-election campaign in 2008. Previously, Hodson managed Secretary Grayson’s re-election campaign in 2007 and ran the Republican Party of Kentucky’s volunteer office in Northern Kentucky in 2006, which played an important role in re-electing Congressman Geoff Davis that year.

Congressman Geoff Davis commented, “Nate Hodson is a perfect choice. He works hard and is a very effective organizer. Nate is very popular among the Republican activists and volunteers who do the heavy lifting to get our candidates elected. Our priority needs to be keeping this extremely important Senate seat in Republican hands to act as a check and balance in Washington. It’s comforting to know that we’ll have a proven manager like Nate Hodson to help lead this effort.”

Trey Grayson stated, “Nate did a terrific job running a difficult race for me in 2007, and I am thrilled that we’ve been able to get him back for this larger, more important effort in 2010.”

[BamaFanNKy]

I'm praying that Hodson old boss Brett Guthrie endorses Rand.

Yep - it's called a sense of entitlement. The big-government types follow this ideology and it's quite obvious.

[UtahApocalypse]

Bye Trey, It was fun but its time to let the serious candidate start working on the real election.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

I'm praying that Hodson old boss Brett Guthrie endorses Rand.

methinks tradecoat trey grayson might be thinking of the governor's run in 2011
and how many Democrats who will flock to his banner if he rants at poor Rand!!!
lets hope he gets the political epithany that he's more fit for a gubernatorial run,
and this is where his daddy's connections could have a political crazy-quilt unseat
a sitting Democrat or come awful darn near the same! 2010 is a pure G.O.P year!

[Aratus]

mitch mcconnell often gives trey grayson wise fatherly advice at seasonal intervals...

Still not a verbal. Need that verbal.

[Aratus]

maybe maybe maybe we all should email mitch mcconnell's senate office in d.c
and more than hint at the painful political obvious? namely that trey is running
for the wrong job & office? thah lad does have talents, however he ain't really a
classic maverick or even a tad SNL "mavericky" cuz he's more conventional & staid!

Rand looked like a badass there. He needs to stop with the cheesy sweaters and start looking like a badass again (I know there's a cheesy sweater underneath his badassness in this picture, but I'm willing to overlook it because of the shades).

[BamaFanNKy]

Mitch doesn't listen to citizens. It's like calling to give advice to Karl Rove.

Isn't what Hodson said a contradiction? How can one be for 'shaking things up' but then criticize Rand for not being mainstream?

Funny thing is Brett doesn't look like a bad ass but, he's a West Point bad ass.

admittedly, yes! admittedly i am in N.E so if i be ahhh saying (((drumrolls))

"Yo! MITCH McC, thy HEIR APPARENT is RUNNING for the WRONG job!
HE NEEDs TO KEEP HIS CASH TOGETHER FOR A GOVERNOR's MANSION
RUN In 2011! SURELY & TRUELY HE IS AS PURE AS THE DRIVEN SNOW!!!"

would senator mitch mcconnell then let the kid quit so he ain't with some bad baggage?

[BamaFanNKy]

I would hate seeing Trey as Governor.

[Bruno]

Oh come on, how long would it take for me to find either of you two insulting Palin's intelligence in your posting history :rolleyes:


you probably wouldn't have to search long, but I am not a politician running for Senate and so my opinion really doesn't apply

[Aratus]

you in KY do have a successful sitting Democrat.
picture how it would look to the party Democrats!!!
Trey hath a daddy with DEMOCRAT connections?
eventually Trey may tire of the political bug if he
getz his~self nowhere fast. he just lost a senate seat...

Successful? Our Gov. has a 37% approval rating. He only won because he stood for Casino Gaming and he's not pushing hard enough for it. He's using the issue as an election tool.

Rand Paul has a very likely chance of a sweep over
the Democrat who will be on november's ballot!!!

successful = he done got elected

trey grayson = ambition personified

attack dog for g.o.p = trey grayson



the g.o.p could have a vast field of

contenders a.s.a.p due to the polls.

a long tyme ago, sen. scott brown was

at 41% in the polls and this is so long

ago in our political memories up here!

The Bill Johnson crew is like the Falwell/Robertson followers who want government control to implement their morals. No grasp on states rights and the laws our country were set up on.

Sure, Grayson, I'm sure you'll "shake things up in Washington". Did you do any shaking at your $500 a plate dinner?

Grayson shakes people down in Washington. Rand is going to shake them up.

Grayson probably gets shaken down and then shakes hands.

Maybe "shaking things up in Washington" is some kind of code for "circle jerking" in certain factions of the Republican Party?
