Rand Paul Victory Speech

Rand Paul (R), Congressman Ron Paul's (R-TX) son, won the Kentucky primary for U.S. Senate today against Republican establishment favorite Trey Grayson. Rand, who has no experience as a candidate, was not expected to win this election when he started. Not even he and his father expected him to do this well. In his victory speech Rand explains why his message resonated with a people who are fed up with what is going on in government.

As Kentucky's secretary of state, Rand's opponent Grayson oversees the voting process in Kentucky. There was widespread concern about the integrity of the election. However, Paul won by a 23 percent margin, with Grayson conceding early and pledging his support to Paul, who will be up against a Democratic opponent in November's general election.
