From RCP
(Nov1)
Kentucky Senate - Paul vs. Gray Western Kentucky Univ. Paul 55, Gray 39 Paul +16
2010 election outcome was; 55.69% - 44.22%..
So it seems he's likely to win with a similar lead as his first race..

"I am a bird"
Make sure you get out to vote for Sen. Rand Paul. Make it the first thing you do this morning! No morning sex, no coffee and bagels, no shower and shave, no kissing the wife and kids before leaving for work until you've cast your ballot for Sen. Paul!
That's an order, soldiers!

"May future generations look back on our work and say that these were men and women who, in moment of great crisis, stood up to their politicians, the opinion-makers, and the Establishment, and saved their country." - Dr. Ron Paul
Already voted for Rand! KY has more registered Dems than Republicans, so I'm still slightly worried. He'll probably win though.
Stop believing stupid things
My prediction = He'll only serve 4 of those 6 years.
"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat

^We can only hope. The only silver lining of an inevitable Clinton presidency is the potential for Rand to challenge her re-election. The GOP allowing him to do so is another story..
Thanks to the email hacks, Rand can now make a relatively solid case that he deserves their support. Whether or not they want to..another story.
THE SQUAD of RPF
1. enhanced_deficit - Paid Troll / John Bolton book promoter
2. Devil21 - LARPing Wizard, fake magical script reader
3. Firestarter - Tax Troll; anti-tax = "criminal behavior"
4. TheCount - Comet Pizza Pedo Denier <-- sick
@Ehanced_Deficit's real agenda on RPF =troll:
Who spends this much time copy/pasting the same recycled links, photos/talking points.
7 yrs/25k posts later RPF'ers still respond to this troll
I see there was a last minute poll showing the race closer at 50-46. That same poll also showed Rubio losing in Florida. Both of those seem unlikely.
The Louisville paper noted Rand took Sunday off from campaigning, so I am going to guess he is pretty confident in the outcome.
I think on Sunday they told Rand he has already seen every voter in KY and won over more than enough to win. He never really slowed down from his POTUS campaign, he just moved all his events to KY.

That's where Lexington is, where Jim Gray is mayor.
Stop believing stupid things
That makes more sense because Gray is the mayor there. I didn't consider that.
He is down 19k votes there and McConnell only lost by 6k.
That's by design Gray campaigned as Trump lite- he even slipped it into the debate and said "i'm like Trump" let someone else in there to shake things up. Trump never really advocated for down ballot races, and especially in Kentucky- he even created Gray's talking point against Rand by attacking Rand in the GOP presidential primaries for running for two offices. This talking point of course resonated with some Trump supporters, and Trump never really disavowed those remarks.
I think when the rest of the Fayette County comes in they will start calling it for Rand.

Congratulations Rand!

I may stop by from time to time to discuss philosophy on a general level related to Libertarian schools of thought and application in the real world.
NYT calls race for Rand!

And people were actually worried about Rand keeping his seat. Easy win

Awesome! I don't like that Trump is outperforming Rand by so much, but I'll still take it.
CNN calls it for Rand!

Outstanding. He needs to start campaigning for POTUS 2020...tomorrow.
I still do not understand how Kentucky has more registered dems than rep and they still vote for republican senate candidates multiple decades in a row. I am just saying that if I am a conservative that tend to vote for republican type candidates, I would register as a republican.
Regardless, good for him. At least there is a small silver lining after all in this election.
