Uh-oh: Bluegrass Poll shows Rand Paul and Hillary Clinton tied ... in Kentucky!





U.S. Sen. Rand Paul has hinged his fledgling presidential campaign on polls showing him ahead of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in some swing states, but the latest Bluegrass Poll suggests Paul might have a hard time beating Clinton in his own backyard.

1. The age breakdown is a little surprising. I thought Paul was banking

on young voters?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Maybe they figured out he isn't the "live and let live" guy he holds himself out to be./NT

[CreekDog]

30. younger voters like Rand more than other Republicans

but since they are more liberal than other voter groups, they like Democrats more than any Republican.

[Fred Sanders]

2. Good thing the election is 18 months away and polls mean squat.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. Actually it's a good thing they are tied in KY

KY hasn't been in play since the 90s.


That's why I posted it.

5. Give it time.

Kentucky really hasn't got to know the REAL Rand Paul.

6. Kentucky might be in play? Go Hillary.

Nothing but good news here. As usual, women are ahead of the societal curve.

[DCBob]

7. Remarkable. Shows Hillary's strength even in a hard red state.

[JaneyVee]

8. Tied in Rand's home state? Turn it blue!

[leftofcool]

13. I think Bill took KY in the GE

Surprisingly enough, Hillary is pretty well liked around here.

9. Hillary Clinton will not become the next President of the United States.

And I'm PRAYING that she's not our nominee because that is the recipe for disaster.

The only things keeping her afloat are name recognition and oceans of bankster money.

11. Thank you for kicking my thread.Your concern is duly noted. NT

[NYC_SKP]

19. "concern duly noted" I LOVE when you DUly note my concern.

I look forward to the general election when you and I can combine our powers to promote Senator Sanders against the GOP.

Imagine the shock on the faces of the GOP assholes when their own former voters flock to the polls to support the only candidate that has their backs.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. I intend to support the nominee of our party...

I intend to support the nominee of our party whomever he or she will be.

[NYC_SKP]

23. I know you will, that's how you roll. I'm still hoping for a Warren run, maybe with Sanders.

Or maybe she will follow his most awesome term at the helm.

[samsingh]

28. me too

[leftofcool]

15. Thank you.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. That was nice of you to thank our friend for kicking my thread.

Are you from Kentucky?


The person I admire most was born in Louisville.

[leftofcool]

26. We live here out by Lake Cumberland

I know tons of Hillary supporters here in this little Red county and they are Repubs.

[JaneyVee]

18. Yes, name recognition for all the great work she's done around the globe.

Btw, what are tonight's lottery numbers?

[upaloopa]

27. The only thing keeping some people afloat is dilution

The whole country is finally going to turn pro socialist. Fox will turn MSNBC lite. The tea party will fade away. The Koch's $900 million spent in ads will fall on deaf ears.
The folks in hell will be served ice water.

[leftofcool]

10. And it's Kentucky!

Did you hear me? It's Kentucky!

[sendero]

12. Any statistician...

... would call that dead even, since the gap is well within the margin of error.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. I believe that is precisely what I reported. Thank you for kicking my thread though./NT

[leftofcool]

16. Hillary is very well liked around here even by Repukes.

[Brother Buzz]

20. What sporting event can they broadcast to keep the old white republican males home?

I'm just saying.

[JaneyVee]

21. Uh oh! She may turn Arizona blue as well:

24. and then Paul woke up. And his sheets were all wet again. His Mom is gonna get mad....

[Gothmog]

25. Cool-If Kentucky is in play, the the GOP will not be able to get 270 electoral votes

[Tarheel_Dem]

29. I think she has been very smart so far. She's doing low profile events with regular voters.

Much like her first run for the Senate, I think she'll surprise everyone with a strong showing in conservative areas.
