Rand Paul Within Striking Distance

Rand Paul poll numbers show him within striking distance of front runner, Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson, in KY's US senate race. He is just 11 points behind his establishment backed opponent.

Paul, a Bowling Green-based ophthalmologist and founder of Kentucky Taxpayers United, has raised over $1 million in the third quarter for his bid. Over 13,000 individuals donated an average of $84, largely over the internet, bringing his total to more than $1,140,000 after less than two months of official campaigning.
