Dr. Rand Paul considers 2010 Senate run!

[Matt Collins]

I think the political climate in 2010 will help Bunning win easily anyway.

But will Bunning run again? That's the question.

there are rumors that Bunning is looking to resign before 2010:

Take it from a Kentuckian, don't believe everything you read in The Communist Urinal.

Isn't Senator Hutchinson up in Texas in 2010? Then the plot really thickens. President Johnson will need some solid allies in the Senate.

Sen. Rand Paul
Sen. Ron Paul
Sen Schiff
Sen. Napolitano

Music to my ears......!

LOL!

Can't Rand/Ron pickup the phone and call Bunning?

A simple phone call or office visit, settles it all.

This is being worked on actually. Bunning said he'd be wiling to chat with Rand. But no one knows when, or what Bunnings intentions really are.

 

[itshappening]

he says he anticipates the race costing $10m

he can't raise it. we can for Rand though.

we need to reach out to Bunning and convince him to back Rand, which would enrage the GOP leadership.

 

[voytechs]

We need more doctors in the senate.

Start spreading the news and have people join up. If you still have your meetups, go forth and say it is so. Me and David Gay have just notified our meetup-210. I think I was #80 to sign up.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning reiterated on Friday that he will seek re-election next year.

The two-term Republican also said he is willing to meet with Rand Paul, son of U.S. Rep. and former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul of Texas, to discuss his race.

Paul, a Bowling Green eye surgeon, expressed interest in the race on Thursday, saying he would consider running in Bunning's place if the 77-year-old sports icon were to drop out or would perhaps assist Bunning in his re-election campaign if he stays in.

Paul said he'd like to meet with Bunning to discuss the matter.

"Let me be very clear about this. I am running for re-election to the United States Senate," Bunning said in a release to The Associated Press on Friday. "I'd be happy to meet with anyone who wants to be a part of my winning team."

Paul praised Bunning for his opposition to a federal bailout of the banking industry, and said he would consider entering the Senate race only if Bunning drops out. Paul said he is in no way trying to encourage Bunning to drop out.

Btw, I agree that we would have no trouble out fundraising Bunning. Probably not even close.

I have to get my old Grandfather to vote for him in 2010. :]

 

[Bradley in DC]

Mitch McConnell is like the King in Kentucky. He has vast political influence and was urging all the Republicans to vote for the bank bailout. Bunning stood up against it, and called it what it was. Since then, I understand McConnell has been taking shots at Bunning, about him having Alzheimer's and rot like that, and trying to find a good little neocon to replace him. Bunning certainly does not agree with us on a lot of points, but he is one of very few people to come out against the Federal Reserve like Ron Paul has.

+1

I think our arguments should be that Rand is the best one to continue Bunning's legacy, but with more youth, vigor, energy, etc.

Here is a local newscast about Rand possibly running for Senate:

Did anyone heat the news?

 

[Inkblots]

Did anyone heat the news?

I didn't just do that - I cooked it at 350 F for 3 hours!

 

[Aratus]

if one can assume there has not been a significant shift in the pool of fall voters

seriously, if the Lt. Governor wins the primary and runs almost exactly the same type of race
he did six years ago, would the end result be a g.o.p victory in the fall that is above the single
digit edge of a hairbreath finish that senator jim bunning had in his two senate runs & wins?

 

[Matt Collins]

So did anyone hear the news?


Look who called it!

 

[devil21]

Who is Rand Paul and why is he running for a Senate seat? You kooky Paulites and your kooky ideas.

 

[Jeremy]

I guess he made up his mind.

Yeah just a few dozen spammers in their parents' basement came out to support liberty yesterday!

He's catching on, I'm telling ya!
