AynRandy Doesn't Want Any Kentucky Votes
He's skipping Fancy Farm!
If you're not a politically aware Kentuckian, you may not have grasped the import of that sentence. Let me try again:
Rand Paul is skipping Fancy Farm!
While running for re-election statewide.
My dears, it is Just. Not. Done.
Sam Youngman at the Herald:
Paul told reporters last week that he is skipping the annual event in far Western Kentucky in favor of campaigning in New Hampshire, a state he has deemed a must-win for his presidential bid.
It's the kind of decision that is causing serious hand-wringing among Republicans as they privately fret that Paul is focusing too much effort and resources on a stalled presidential bid at the expense of his U.S. Senate re-election campaign.
While Paul's aides have long defended the senator's decision to run for both offices in 2016 by boasting of his abilities as a multitasker, there is growing concern that Paul could be caught off-guard in his Senate race, much the way former U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was last year.
Paul's recent moves leave little doubt that his re-election is a distant second on his list of priorities.
