Rand Paul Wins Q3 Money Race

By W. James Antle, III on 10.19.09 @ 10:42AM

Last week, Kentucky Republican senatorial candidate Rand Paul announced he had raised over $1 million in the third quarter to Secretary of State Trey Grayson's $642,800, even though Grayson received fundraising support from the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee and is the GOP establishment favorite. The Politico reported that Grayson ended September with $1.18 million cash-on-hand. Paul banked $921,000.

Rand's father, Ron Paul, enjoyed similar fundraising success and won the fourth quarter money primary in 2007 without being able to break into the top tier when states started voting. Yet the polling so far shows Rand Paul to be a serious candidate.

I find it actually disappointing that Grayson would even consider challenging Paul. Rand Paul is clearly what is needed in America and in Washington. He stands by his principles, of which are actually conservative - unlike blowing-in-the-wind Grayson.

Times have changed and the Republican Party cannot afford any more RINOs. It's time for real conservatives to take back the GOP!
