Okay, how in the hell did Rand Paul win the primary? He is batshit crazy...

is this idiot for real? What an embarrassment ...:eyes:

because it will give Jack Conway a huge change in general election.

Make sure the entire nation knows he's completely crazy!

One plus one still equals two.

and people thought they were voting for his daddy or they were giving the chinless wonder warning that they were sick of GOP politics as usual.

The good news is that there were half as many of them in a hotly contested race than there were of Democrats voting in a ho-hum primary.

Small minority population and his brand of racist talks to the rightwing.

I've driven through several times. Never stay.

That's how you get batshit crazy republican candidates.

Kentucky is near the bottom for adults with higher education degrees. Last I knew they were at around 17% if you included Associate degrees.

The problem really stems from the high dropout and illiteracy rates in the Central Appalachia region. The typical pattern of the poorer the region the less educated their children are persists there to this day. The end results are repressed wages and undereducated populations. It's a vicious cycle.

not caring and staying home.

But the real question is, will the Dems repeat showing the kind of support they showed both their candidates?

:headbang:

its too much of a stretch for some states

It was close enough to steal. That's bad in itself. Rand Paul is what happens when the "Miss Me Yet" crowd puts their crayons down and votes.

He's riding his father's coat tails. That is at least part of it.

Ayn Rand ideas have polluted that party for decades.

The general election is different. He]s already stumbled over that. He may be too crazy even for Kentucky voters

Maybe they like medical marijuana? He is actually pro- that, one of the only good things about the guy really.

I'm LUVIN IT!

The right wing/GOP segment is totally batshit crazy, and many on the other side are kind of whacked too. You have people on the so-called left who think the health-care bill was a good thing. You have people on the left who think the phony bank reform bill is a good thing. That's just crazy thinking.

Kentucky is a very conservative christian state. I've visited it a few times and the people are nice but it is very conservative. My friend is from Kentucky. Everyone she knew growing up was a republican. She never knew anything good about democrats. Everything she heard on the news or read in the paper was pro republican and anti democrat. She didn't vote because she didn't know who to vote for. She knew that George Bush was an idiot because she heard him speak. Everything she heard about Gore and Kerry was the negative lies and distortions that fox news would tell. She couldn't understand why everyone loved George Bush. When she moved out of state, she heard and read real news. Now she is a strong democrat. She will explain to her family why fox news is lying and what the truth is on the issues.

was considered seriously enough to be nominated and run for a prominent elected position where she would be one bullet/heartbeat away from the Presidency. We have supersize loads of batshit crazy in this country.
