C-SPAN will be carrying it too (added to your post).

I won't be home tonight - Will have to watch the tubes.

[Adrock]

Do we know when Conman and Rand will be speaking?

[sailingaway]

Do we know when Conman and Rand will be speaking?

No, they want people for all the speeches. The speakers themselves may know, and I'm sure we'll find out later. I'm betting they'll be last so media doesn't leave until after the other speakers speak, but that's just a guess.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Good I finally get to see a live speech... critique to follow for both.

Hoping for an Exhilarating and Motivative speech by Rand

They only get 5 minutes and Rand isn't a sound bite kind of guy. I'm expecting him to keep his head down, crack a few jokes, and tie Conway to Obama. I don't think this is really where he's going to best get his message out, with labor having been bused in to cheer for Conway and jeer at Rand. However, I wouldn't mind being wrong.

I'm going to tie into KET but if it fails I'll go to CSPAN. CSPAN was doing a military press conference last I checked in.

CSPAN is tuning now to Fancy Farm -- KET is playing their logo, maybe it is somewhere else for them?10

Trey is giving comments right now to KET people (why isn't it on their site?)

[Jeremy]

seeing lots of people with rand fans (actual fans) lol

At 90 degrees, that's not a half bad idea...

Hahahaha.... KET just played Conway speech from last year and bleeped it out.

WOW.


Great campaign ad for Paul. :D

[sailingaway]

argh, I keep having to refresh it. Overload?

[sailingaway]

The Dems are lying about Rand's positions. Do they really think people will never find the truth?

Wow at the crowd noise for Rand!

[jkr]

see it on the map!

3131 State Route 339 North Fancy Farm, KY 42039

[jct74]

Rand Paul signs dominating! Don't see any CONway signs.

Neither one of the candidates speaking today won this region in the primary and they both get only 5 minutes each?

That ridiculous. Sounds like there's only enough time for just sound bites to win over a majority that didn't vote for either of them.

Well, the lady with the middle aged 'Graduated Bob' haircut, handing out a award for cutting up tomatoes...

[sailingaway]

Anyone else hear a low hum? Annoying lol

I think it is the ceiling fan. They'd probably expire without it.

watch it on real tv! :D

I thought Rand won every county in Kentucky but a few .... :confused: Randslide?

[jkr]

btw "Randslide" is OURS!

[jct74]

OMG, Conway is getting so much heat for his swearing incident last year. Fancy Farm organizer speaking right now just referenced it and reminded the candidates they need to watch their language this year, and it was brought up numerous times during the pregame show, with a complete clip.

[low preference guy]

what's the name of the short (banjo?) song they just played?

[TheDriver]

what did he say?

[radiofriendly]

I'm really impressed with this event - It's really great to see this. I like the mixture of silliness and debate.

The only subjects worth joking about are serious subjects -- like being married or being hanged. - G. K. Chesterton,

[Adrock]

He was being heckled last year. He told the crowd that he doesn't mind because he is "one tough son of a bitch!".

Man, 45 minutes of BS... count on C-SPAN to "Cut to speeches" in the Future... life is too short.

Agreed...they really know how to drag it out.

I like it. We have NOTHING like this in Southern California.

I like it. We have NOTHING like this in Southern California.

There's tailgating/camping the whole weekend around the event.

[Kotin]

when is rand speaking?

[jkr]

"niether has you!"

[Kotin]

here we go..

[2young2vote]

Wow Listen to that booing for Jack Conway.

[Kotin]

they are chanting rand paul!!!

[HOLLYWOOD]

when is rand speaking?

@ this pace... tomorrow.

Man this Governor Steve Beshear is another BS artist... hiding behind the same old political talking points 101... Children, Education, and Police/Safety.

Kentucky Talking Points Trifecta goes to Beshear

Clock ticking... now 1 hour of BS, damn back to the NASCAR race in NY.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

How can Conway/Beshear say with a straight face that Paul divides while using fear constantly?

Note to Beshear: Conway has ALWAYS taken bailout money....both before and after the primary. Oh yeah, that is a morally superior man. :rolleyes:

[Adrock]

I really like this forum. Pretty rowdy. I think there are more Rand Paul people there.

[Inkblots]

Wow, Gov. Beshear really used every cliche in the Democratic Rhetorical Handbook. "Balancing the Federal Budget on the backs of our schoolchildren"? Pul-lease!

[Adrock]

Wow, Gov. Beshear really used every cliche in the Democratic Rhetorical Handbook. "Balancing the Federal Budget on the backs of our schoolchildren"? Pul-lease!

Yah, talk about going over the top. Then Conway is going to come up and talk about how Rand is "fear mongering".

[Kotin]

Mcconnel is on now

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Did Conway really balance the budget for the AG office or is this another BS half-truth ala Trey Grayson in which he had his budget forcibly cut by the state legislature?

[ljwestmcsd]

Notice that "Kentukians are ashamed of Mitch McConnell" sign.
Obviously the sign is from an out-of-stater. Kentuckians know how to spell Kentuckians.
Any idea on how many people they shipped in from out-of-state?

[HOLLYWOOD]

LOL... "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" Does Mitch McConnell sounds like Jimmy Stewart or what?

[ljwestmcsd]

Did Conway really balance the budget for the AG office or is this another BS half-truth ala Trey Grayson in which he had his budget forcibly cut by the state legislature?

The Kentucky Constitution requires a balanced budget. If Gov. Beshear thinks that balancing the budget is so great, then he should vote for Rand Paul.

[jkr]

we need rand paul

-mitch Mcconnel


and a lawyer slam, awesome!

[RonPaulFanInGA]

"Rand Paul has spent his entire career helping people out of ambulances, Jack Conway has spent his career chasing ambulances."

-Mitch McConnell

[low preference guy]

McConnell: Rand Paul will save us from a sea of debt.

[low preference guy]

It's awesome to see people chanting a Paul in such a mainstream political event.

[Epic]

The ambulance joke was awesome.

McConnell is a PRO at this... he's probably done it a lot.

Basically he just said the words Obama Pelosi Conway and tax a lot.

[sailingaway]

What did he just say about Trey and 'rumblings'? My feed went down again.

[2young2vote]

Fay Mayson is on right now. I hate that guy. He is such a slimy politician.

[sailingaway]

I'm not sure if he is personally, he just turned his fate and campaign over to slimeballs, certainly.

We're on the same side, now.

[Jeremy]

chants for jack now

[Jeremy]

i like how trey poked fun at himself

[Epic]

What did he just say about Trey and 'rumblings'? My feed went down again.

He's probably gonna run for governor or something in the future.

[Jeremy]

is trey going to run for governor?

lol he just ran out of time

[Adrock]

Trey was alright. Kind of lackluster.

[jkr]

aaannnnnnd we have our first winner!

[Kotin]

lol what just happened?

[Epic]

Conway and Paul coming up.... this is gonna get crazy...

[Adrock]

lol what just happened?

With the music? That is their way of getting the guy off the stage if he speaks longer than five minutes.

[low preference guy]

lol what just happened?

Trey went over the time limit and was played the music.

[Kotin]

I enjoy kentucky politics.

[ljwestmcsd]

lol what just happened?

Grayson went over his time limit and the bluegrass band drowned him out.

[Inkblots]

Coin flip time! LOL

[sailingaway]

flipping a coin for who goes first, Rand or Jack.

dang, Jack's going first. I hope Rand doesn't get distracted responding, but stays on message.

[Adrock]

I wish we had something like that in Arizona.

[Jeremy]

jack is going first

[Inkblots]

Frankly, I'd want to go second, so I could respond to the frist guy a bit, if needed.

[Adrock]

Here we go! Seems like the crowd is more on Rand's side except for the bussed in union folks.

[Epic]

Rand's the closer.

[low preference guy]

Why did Jack choose to go first? Isn't it better to have the last word?

[Inkblots]

Wow, listen to that crowd noise - mostly negative, it sounds like.

[StudentForPaul08]

This is intense!

[Inkblots]

Wow, I had not idea Rand Paul was responsible for the Gulf oil spill, coal mine collapses, and the market collapse. He's been busy.

[Epic]

Conway's theme is "accident's happen" - Rand should stop saying that.

[Adrock]

Gawd Conman is slimy!

[Kotin]

hilarious

[sailingaway]

Rand hasn't been saying it, they just keep repeating it, completely out of context.

Rand's guys should do the Rand Paul chant, words carry much better than boos.

[StudentForPaul08]

This guy is a joke.

[Inkblots]

Wow, Jack Conway is going to personally create 11000 jobs if he's elected. Plus, he's ggoing to go after those wicked banks who won't make enough loans and have too strict lending standards. If there's one problem we've had this decade, it's banks not lending enough, that's for sure!

[ljwestmcsd]

FYI: I just found out that KET3 (KET_HD), channel 15.3 in Louisville, does not have the seven second delay that KET-1 has.

[StudentForPaul08]

I love the Rand Paul chants!

[Inkblots]

Did you know disabled people didn't have any rights before the ADA? I had no idea the Constitution didn't apply to them! The more you know...

[jkr]

liars lie and quote bill clinTON

[Adrock]

Jack Conway says Rand Paul is fear mongering while giving that speech?

[low preference guy]

Jack Conway sounds to me like a screaming lunatic.

Will his speech go over well?

[Epic]

Conway is disingenuous and downright lying, but probably very effective.

Rand Paul needs to come up big here. I wouldn't bother rebutting all that crap - just start attacking Jack and laying out the plan.

[Inkblots]

That's a strong candidate for the most dishonest political speech I've ever heard. Way to go, Conman.

[Adrock]

"Go away Conway!" Love it!

[jkr]

N0 WaY CONWAY!

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Jack Conway again talks all about Rand Paul and little to nothing about his sorry ass.

[sailingaway]

I love that they are saying he is not a typical candidate just as Conway is shifting gears to pretend Rand is just that.

[2young2vote]

Hopefully Rand can be as intense and make himself sound as good as Conway. To a totally mindless person, Conway would have sounded great.

[sailingaway]

Jack Conway again talks all about Rand Paul and little to nothing about him sorry ass.

NO one would like him.

[Epic]

The introducer said Rand was republican, but didn't say Jack was a democrat.... not fair...

[HOLLYWOOD]

Nice Camera Work by the guy with the Camera Boom on Rand's intro... sweeping across his name on the person holding his sign

[jkr]

W0w!

[sailingaway]

Here goes our guy on ISSUES!!

And the DEMS are CHEERING for the US TAX CODE!!!!!

I mean, we always suspected that was their position....

[Inkblots]

Oh, wow! Great example, Rand! Show 'em that Tax Code!

[Epic]

Rand talking about the length and craziness of the tax code

"added 10,000 regulations in the past decade.... costs over a trillion dollars to comply"

[Inkblots]

Hahaha: Rand: "President Obama!" Crowd: "BOOO!"

[Epic]

Now talking about Obama and Pelosi

Obama says jobs come from government, Rand says jobs come from private sector

Obamacare gonna cost 1.2 trillion... Kentucky doesn't believe that...

[Kotin]

lol Rand called out the chanters..

[jkr]

20 days / page!

[low preference guy]

Rand Paul misspoke: Let's have them wait 20 days for every page.

[Jeremy]

lol Rand called out the chanters..

and it worked XD

[Inkblots]

Great speech, Rand!

[sailingaway]

Gee are are Jack's people really booing 'God Bless America"?

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Rand Paul = Issues

Jack Conway = Rand Paul, Rand Paul, Rand Paul, Rand Paul

You can tell just by that who is winning. Conventional politicians live by the "only attack when you're trailing in the polls" creed.

[sailingaway]

lol Rand called out the chanters..

Yeah, "the left keeps chanting for bigger government, you can hear them now...!!"

[Adrock]

Did someone else bring up the Pro-Life/Pro-Choice issue? I wish he would of talked about how Conman wouldn't sue against Obamacare as the AG.

[low preference guy]

I bet the main take away by the MSM will be that Rand Paul said to wait 20 days for each new page of legislation. They probably won't even say he misspoke.

Nevertheless, by not making any sort of important mistake, this is a win for Rand Paul's campaign.

[Mikeforpaul]

I liked how Rand stayed focused on the issues. Great speech.

[Adrock]

and it worked XD

Yes it did. They were booing the entire time. Not just what was said. Looked pretty childish on their part.

[sailingaway]

Rand Paul = Issues

Jack Conway = Rand Paul, Rand Paul, Rand Paul, Rand Paul

You can tell just by that who is winning. Conventional politicians live by the "only attack when you're trailing in the polls" creed.

Well, but the crowd agreed: "RAND PAUL RAND PAUL RAND PAUL...!!" so at least on that point they were on the same page....

[Adrock]

I liked how Rand stayed focused on the issues. Great speech.

The guy who talks about how Rand fear mongers was fear mongering his entire speech.

[Inkblots]

Jack Conway = Rand Paul, Rand Paul, Rand Paul, Rand Paul

Ha, you left out the "Oogedy-boogedy-boogdey!" at the end.

[trey4sports]

lol, that was entertaining

[Adrock]

I liked that! Especially the Rand Paul! Rand Paul!l chants at the end of the speech.

Edit: Conway sure diced up Rand. LMAO!

[sailingaway]

The guy who talks about how Rand fear mongers was fear mongering his entire speech.

They do that constantly. I have to figure it is for their base, no objective person would buy it.

[jkr]

lUv!

[Epic]

Rand could have played the abortion card - I think that would've worked too.

[Inkblots]

Rand could have played the abortion card - I think that would've worked too.

Yeah, it is a Catholic picnic, after all.

[low preference guy]

Rand could have played the abortion card - I think that would've worked too.

He'll have plenty of time to do that (through mailers, etc.). I think people are thinking more about the debt than abortions right now.

[sailingaway]

Rand could have played the abortion card - I think that would've worked too.

It will be played over time. It isn't going anywhere.

Now, the question is how long before someone can get a youtube up? The feed kept cutting out on me.

l00KS LIKE FREaD TOMSPN IN the house....

[low preference guy]

It will be played over time. It isn't going anywhere.

Now, the question is how long before someone can get a youtube up? The feed kept cutting out on me.

Where did you watch it?

[sailingaway]

Where did you watch it?

CSPAN, but I only want to see Rand and Conway again, not all the rest. (although watching Bashear being booed down again, when he tried to trash talk Rand might be fun, too.)
