Rand Paul defeated Republican establishment favorite Trey Grayson in the GOP primary for U.S. Senate, a closely watched race that was a key test of the tea party movement's strength.After starting as the underdog, Paul won with 65% of the vote.
It's interesting that his win was so big, since he's a very libertarian Republican, very far from being a social conservative in many respects.
I admit I haven't followed the race, I'm not up on the nuances, and I'm weak on Kentucky politics. I have no idea how he'll do in November.
But it's nice to see the GOP
run a candidate
who wants to go on a chopping spree
against the creeping state.
