Yup, Rand won thanks to Gun Owners association of America and Bunning's support! Not to mention that Trey got the support of pro-abortion pro-TARP non-conservatives like Dick Cheney and Roooooooody. Congrats Rand!

AND Palin....remember? Should have been the "kiss of death", but didn't quite work out that way.

After the election results, it appears many will be seeking Palin's kiss.

I think the other endorsements helped him win despite Palin's kiss of death. The tea party is much greater than her, as no one seriously considers her a "leader" of the movement. The highly liberal crossdressing Roooooooody and and quasi-liberal Dick Cheney were much more toxic kisses of death for Trey.

Plus, Trey and his merry band of trolls helped plenty. Trey was exposed as actually requesting 38% increase in the state budget when he touted being a "fiscal conservative", as well as lying to Dobson about Rand's position on his pro-life stance. He basically went senile and imploded during the last couple of weeks.

The uber-liberal Cheney/Giuliani kiss of death is MUCH more toxic than Palin's.

Rand is up 8% against the Democratic opponent. This is probably due to Dr. Paul's libertarian stance bringing in liberals. Progressives can never be convinced to relinquish government control, but fortunately in KY that is a minority population. MANY registered Dems prefer Rand in Kentucky.

why can't you just admit, this time you were wrong instead of continuing to give excuses. NO, Palin was not his "kiss of death"

It was said before the Dick Cheney/Giuliani kiss of death was given, but whatever.
