GOP Committee Gets behind Rand Paul with Commericial

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is running its first ad of the election cycle in Kentucky for U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul, son of Republican Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. First-time political candidate Rand faces Democrat Attorney General Jack Conway, but is doing surprisingly well.


Kentucky, of course, is famous for horse races, especially the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville. Horses can be seen all over the countryside, and the state leans comfortably Republican, so this 30-second commercial is uniquely suitable for the state. Such a commercial in Hawaii for one of our GOP candidates might initially leave viewers with a somewhat surprised but blank look on their faces.
