Sounds legit. Kind of looks like Rand Paul as well.

Oh. Did you hear? Craig James killed five hookers while at SMU.

Thomas? Spectacular! Of course we want to back him!! He's great.

BamaFan, how strong is the person he is running against?

Also, I'm hoping we can have a subforum for him.

Right now, 2 declared establishment types. With redistricting it may actually strengthen him. He needs $$$.

Yeah, but this month is going to be hard, unless Ron dominates in NH and pulls in a ton of new donors. But he will need something. I'll look into it tomorrow, he is one of the ones we should rally behind, but his chances are relevant, likely to the success of a money bomb, and I don't know them. With us, does he have a chance? I would hope so.

Rand will not endorse in primaries unless others do out of courtesy. On another note, his right hand guy and district guy for Bowling Green just resigned to be Thomas' Campaign Manager. Take that for what it's worth. Oh, and the website is done by Cando.com

This guy is just about as good as they get... hardcore Ron and Rand supporter, well-spoken, running for an open seat and he knows how to win. He thrashed an incumbent for the highest elected office in his county - with no political background at all!!

Bottom line: We get him the money... he will win.

It's a home state thing... remember Ron endorsed the pro-bailout folks in TX and didn't endorse Medina (although he came close, lol.) I don't think less of him for it, really. This is definitely a race we can win, but it's up to us!

Ehh not really. Squeezed out of my State House via redistricting, the Congressional District is almost built for me, but being a newly opened seat the primary is ridiculously crowded.

My plan has always been to build the chops until I'm next to a shoe-in based on my record. That's gonna take another few terms.

"People may say that I'm not experienced in government," Massie said, "but I would ask them `how experienced were our founding fathers in government?' They were farmers. They were inventors. They were involved in commerce, and they came together and they drafted the best document in the history of civilization, and none of them were career politicians. And what we have now is career politicians who don't respect that document, which is chock-full of commonsense."

Just a heads up that the main fight in our congressional district will be in May for the primary and the Republican nomination. Geoff Davis, our current Republican representative, is not seeking re-election. Other people have already announced plans to run for this seat. The primary will be held on May 22, 2012 (the same day Kentucky will be voting for Ron Paul for president) which will be our make or break day.

Nearly 100% chance she oinks in her sleep. Probably intermittently throughout the day as well.

I'll tell you this - she will be well connected and if she plays the games of TPTB, she will have the local media too.

She should be vetted and combed for EVERY nasty little flee attached to her and then lambasted for each one.

Rand could always pull a McConnell. He said he wasn't endorsing, but everyone knew he was supporting Grayson.

Rand should support Massie, preferably in the open. The future of the country is too important to avoid endorsements out of courtesy.
