As If There Was An Option

Monday 14 June 2010 - Filed under Government + Rand Paul

Bill Estep via The Lexington Herald-Leader on recent meetings between Rand Paul and the establishment party hacks Paul ran against in the Kentucky Senatorial primaries:

But Paul ran outside the party establishment, against a man endorsed by leaders of that establishment and without the support of many in the party structure.

“It happened, and we’ve got to not pretend it didn’t happen, and we’ve got to build a bridge back,” said Mills, chairman of the Laurel County Republican Party.

Efforts to reconstruct that bridge are growing as Paul, a Bowling Green eye surgeon, gears up for what promises to be a hard-fought campaign against Attorney General Jack Conway, the Democratic nominee.

They write this stuff as if the Republitards have any other options other than to embrace Paul as one of them.  It’s either Paul, who will likely vote their way much of the time, especially concerning fiscal matters presented by the Obama administration, or they concede the seat to Conway.
