Yesterday in
noting Sarah Palin's endorsement of Rand Paul for the
Republican nomination for Senate in Kentucky, I quoted the
younger Dr. Paul's comments about Palin. Here is what Palin had
to say about Paul: "I'm proud to support great grassroots
candidates like Dr. Paul. While there are issues we disagree on,
he and I are both in agreement that it's time to shake up the
status quo in Washington and stand up for common sense ideas."
Before the statement was issued by the Palin camp, Paul's primary
opponent Secretary of State Trey Grayson's campaign questioned
the authenticity of the endorsement. Grayson's campaign manager
initially dismissed a Paul announcement of the endorsement as "a
release by a campaign that has demonstrated previously the
ability to report things that are not true or half-truths." Paul
is currently leading Grayson in the polls.
