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.
