http://www.whas11.com/news/local/ran...n-go/279181522On one of the hottest days of the year, the hottest game around found players with eyes laser focused on their phones hunting a stretch of Bardstown road on the Pokemon Go trail.
The unsuspecting players had no idea they were also on the campaign trail, lured to the Highlands neighborhood of Louisville by volunteers for Republican US Senator Rand Paul.
A young campaign volunteer hatched a plan to create the so-called Pokestop. She used her own funds to set game lures that would lead Pokemon players to the area. Once the competitors stumbled up the sidewalk, supporters recruited them to support Kentucky's Junior Senator whose running for re-election against Lexington Mayor Jim Gray.
"That's pretty genius for a politician to do it,” said Pokemon player Dustin Hernandez. “I mean, it's appealing to the young people especially but, the thing with Pokemon is that, I know people that are 60 playing this game too on this street."
