What I would pay to see a Massie primary :D
You haven't read Sun Tzu, have you, Matt?
I think Rand Paul would make a wonderful senior senator for the beautiful state of Kentucky.
For most of the Campaign it was sitting on my night stand, I read the first few pages, but haven't been able to get through the rest due to time constraints. It is in my pile of about 500+ books I need to read.Quote:

McConnell might be too big of a task to pull off, being in charge of the Senate establishment.
is jack hunter going to help out tom davis in 2014?
I would assume so, though Jack isn't a power broker for sure.Quote:

Actually, I don't think a current senator is prevented from running for the other senator slot and retiring from his current if he wins.Quote:

you could have a sitting senator running in the party's primary for
the other seat, winning... and then going into the general election
and if sucessful, the senator resigns only to see senator who had
the other seat winning the primary for the special election and then
the general election in a total swapping of senate seats? the very
ancient & longstanding custom in the senate of accumulating a high
degree of seniority put a stop to these poly~sci flukes most totally.
From what I hear around from Tea Party people, there will be no challenge to McConnell. It's grin-and-bear-it in 2014.Quote:

Um, the two 'slots' are identical. You have a senator and you have another senator. Period. So, the reason we've never seen a senator step down from the senate after winning his or her election two years later to run against the other senator. It would make no sense at all. Both their votes count the same.Quote:

If anything run a 3rd party conservative to split the vote
Thomas Massie for Senate?
Which just goes to show you TP people are definitely not liberty people.Quote:

Unfortunately it's true. However the benefits of having someone run against him anyway, if done right, could make it worth while even if they won't win.Quote:

Its funny how people join McConnell instead of working to remove his bastard ass from senate. Yeah ,I get it there is a lot of money involved and its just easier to join them if you can't beat them. I understand its the "smart" thing to do.I hate politics.
