The Hoffman Effect Rolls On

How much of a disaster is Rand Paul turning out to be for Kentucky Republicans?  Even Dan Riehl thinks Paul is the wrong guy.
If Rand Paul hired, first a white supremacist, than an operative who can't follow a listserve's rules to stay on topic and not spam after multiple hints and a moderator warning, how good can Rand Paul's judgment really be in the end? As I've now grown genuinely concerned, may as well have a look at the Kentucky Senate race I've mostly ignored until now.


Obama was hammered for bad vetting rightly enough. No point in letting our side end up on the short end of the stick in Kentucky because we failed to do ours. So, let the vetting begin.
Good luck on that, Dan.  On on hand, dude just raised $200k with an online money bomb.  On the other hand, Dick Cheney just endorsed Trey Grayson.  Really?  You want Mr. 17% popularity endorsing you?  I think that helps Paul more.

This is starting to be a disaster that the Dems might actually win here.

    Yeah having Cheney campaign for you as a Repub is like having Obama as a Dem

    Yeah, how's that "Scott Brown will stop health care reform" thing working out for you, again?

    I mean, if we're going to focus on results...

    So you're saying that taking one Senate seat is better than winning on health care reform even without, arguably, the most important proponent for HCR still alive and kicking in the Senate (Teddy) and down a seat in a period of time where every bill needs 60 votes?

    Once again, the right confuses the means (political power) for the end (enacting legislation).

    Hoffman effect indeed.

    Actually Paul if you could keep up you would have noticed what was done. I'll dumb it down for you.

    Read the blog, you'll notice:
    Really? You want Mr. 17% popularity endorsing you?

    What the writer neglected to remember is what I posted above.

    Then rather than coming up with anything substantive he ran in a completely different direction in a miserable attempt to counter. Rather than pointing that out and continuing on I decided to do the same. Hence the reason I pointed out that Ted Kennedy's seat, one of the biggest liberals, is now owned by the GOP.

    Does that help ._._._._. connect the dots?
