Dr. Paul Running for Senate

By W. James Antle, III on 8.5.09 @ 2:47PM

That's Rand Paul, the ophthalmologist son of Ron Paul, who is running for the Republican nomination in Kentucky. He takes similar libertarian-conservative positions on the issues but he'll also have to emulate his dad's success with fundraising "money bombs" to stay competitive with Secretary of State Trey Grayson, who is the party establishment's choice and himself a prodigious fundraiser.

Peter Schiff's money bomb is scheduled for Friday--should give an idea what sort of muscle the troops still have. Rand Paul, Aug 20.

Each will take a run at a $750,000 to a million--but who knows, I bring up the conservative wing.

Trey Grayson is a former delegate for Bill Clinton!! Of course he is the establishment's choice.
