Rand Paul’s fast-growing campaign for the U.S. Senate continues to get glowing reviews — and is drawing increasingly goofy attacks from opponents.
From Politico.com:
With Rand Paul dominating in fundraising and polling competitively in the Kentucky Senate race, his primary opponent Trey Grayson is now attacking him for not growing up in the state.
In an interview with a television station in eastern Kentucky, Grayson called Paul “an outsider” with tenuous ties to his home state.
“He’s an outsider, he’s not a Kentuckian. You know I’m a 5th generation Kentuckian, educated here in the public schools, raising my family here. The reason so why so many thousands of Kentuckians are helping out my campaign is they’ve seen my record as Secretary of State. They’ve seen me deliver on what I promised,” Grayson told WKYT-TV.
It’s not a bad thing, however, to be seen as an outsider in an environment where voters are increasingly suspicious of the political establishment. Paul, with his talk against government bailouts and wasteful spending, has obviously hit a nerve with voters – and has a real shot at winning the nomination.
