Rand Paul and Trey Grayson may be in the midst of a bruising fight for the Republican nomination to succeed Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY), but they have one thing in common: If nominated, both would beat the Democrats handily. The latest Rasmussen poll shows Grayson trouncing Dan Mongiardo 53 percent to 33 percent and Jack Conway 52 percent to 32 percent. Paul beats Mongiardo 52 percent to 37 percent and Conway 50 percent to 36 percent.
There have been no public polls of the Republican primary electorate since the candidates went on the air with their dueling 9/11 commercials. But Grayson runs a little better among Republicans in these general election match-ups, while Paul does slightly better than Grayson among independents.

This is an important test of the new freedom movement momemtum in the GOP. Can Rand Paul beat the Establishment in favor of the Constitution and freedom?
John| 4.6.10 @ 5:38PM
The real shame is that the Republican establishment have learnt nothing and are trying to shove down everyone's throats the usual big government RINOs.
They don't care about the Tea Party movement etc. They just care about the business-as-usual politicians that are the problem.
S.L. Toddard| 4.6.10 @ 8:33PM
This is a true test of Tea Party principles: will these folks stand behind a genuine small government conservative, or revert to form and continue supporting the Big Government GOP establishment? Have they learned anything from these past ten uninterrupted years of radical Big Government liberalism, reckless spending and government expansion?
I am cautiously (very cautiously) optimistic that they have. Should Paul fail, it will say more about the seriousness of the Tea Partiers (or lack thereof) than it will about either candidate.

May all the forthcoming primaries be as such - a gauntlet.
May voters figuratively line up in parallel and thereby 'trial' a masked RINO penchant out of anyone who would carry the flag of CONSTITUTIONAL-adhering conservatism as a GOP candidate in November.
