In Ky., confident Paul foresees 'a tea party tidal wave coming'
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Even before Republican voters in Kentucky cast their ballots on Tuesday, the favorite in the Republican U.S. Senate primary has already declared "there's a tea party tidal wave coming."

"It's already gotten to Utah, and tomorrow it comes to Kentucky," Rand Paul told a crowd of supporters in this town, where he has long worked as an eye doctor.

In his final rally before the election, Paul sounded confident not just of victory over Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson, but of being part of a tea party movement that he thinks will change politics.

Polls show Paul comfortably ahead in the GOP race to replace retiring Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.). He argues that a win here will help solidify the tea party's place both within the Republican Party and in the broader national political landscape.

1. I can't wait until the end of the year, when websites do those "In" and "Out" lists for the new year
...... and among the "out" phenomena will be the Tea Party

2. Tidal wave, eh?
More like a trickle of urine.

3. I don't like Rand and I don't like his old man either.
Mitch McConnell brought this on himself by screwing over Bunning, not that I care. Bunning is an angry, demented old fool and no one will miss him in the Upper Chamber.

On the other hand, Rand Paul is a kook right out of the gate.

4. I'm willing to bet Paul would give up those quaint notions he campaigns on
All the libertarian crap, were he to actually be elected to the US Senate. That shit just won't fly, and let's face it, Teabaggers, libertarians, they are Republicans at heart.
