The announced retirement of two-term Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning may have left the door open for Democrats to steal this GOP seat, with potential match-ups between candidates from both parties pointing to races that are close, or at least competitive, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Sept. 30. The margin of error for this poll is 4.5 percent.
Republican Secretary of State Trey Grayson leads Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo 44 percent to 37 percent with 4 percent preferring another candidate and 14 percent undecided. But he splits the vote with Attorney General Jack Conway at 40 percent each with three percent preferring someone else and 17 percent undecided.
Eye surgeon and political activist Paul Rand leads Mongiardo 43 percent to 38 percent with 6 percent preferring another candidate and 13 percent undecided. But Rand trails Conway 42 percent to 38 percent with 4 percent preferring someone else and 15 percent undecided.
All four are seen favorably by Kentuckians except for Mongiardo who is seen unfavorably by 43 percent and favorably by 41 percent, but that in part reflects that fact that only 16 percent don't know enough about him to form an opinion, while the others are unknown by between 24 percent and 27 percent.
Drake began his career with the New York Daily News, spending most of that time in Washington covering Congress, national politics and the Reagan White House... more
2010 - will not be the year of the Democrat, we have been watching Congress and we can't wait to get the ballot in our hands.

Mongiardo's a good guy. But I would take Trey over any of them. I don't know how much of a Kentuckian Ran is. I guess iVote 3G.

Oh and it's funny how they inverted RAND Paul's name in this article. Maybe they don't want people knowing he's Ron Paul's son. AOL always puts isht up. I need to find a better new/blog service thing.

Rush Limbaugh (super Racist) and Palin (super stupid, dumb, confused) for 2012!!!!
Current Health Insurance is a Biblical Harlot riding on Americans. They (Harlot and Republicans)are discriminating sick , poor and old. And you have to buy Afflac too!! But when you get sick They-Harlot supported by Republicans cancel Insurance and Americans 1.6 Million per year getting bankrupted!. So now is a time for Insurance for all Americans! let us stop monopoly of Harlot and Rpublicans support of it.
God bless Obama and all Americans!!!!!!
Republicans are more conservative until conception, but after that Democrats getting all responsibilities for the rest of the life of new conception (person), so in conclusion -in Gods eye Democrats are far more conservative than Harlot-Republicans!!!!
