Well that was fast. Ophthalmologist Rand Paul (R) didn't let even a single day pass before he launched a new TV spot slamming rival Trey Grayson's (R) first negative ad.
Grayson, the KY Sec/State and the GOP establishment's favored candidate in the race to replace retiring Sen. Jim Bunning (R), launched his first ad yesterday, taking a shot at Paul's stance on coal. Now, Paul is firing back, highlighting some of Grayson's own statements.
"Rand Paul will stop Obama and the EPA from crippling the mining industry," a narrator says. The ad highlights Grayson saying he looks forward to working with Pres. Obama, something that won't play well in a KY GOP primary.
There's another thread on this already
And I'll repeat here, I think Paul's response was weak.
He needed to answer the Grayson attack directly. First, address his own position that he was attacked on, THEN show Grayson's duplicity.
By not addressing either his changed position on coal, or defending his position, it looks like he's conceding the point and simply saying "nah nah nah nah nah nah."
This is the kind of "talking past each other" that "regular" politicians are making the electorate tired with.
Paul could have and should have done better.
By not addressing his own position at all, it looks like he is trying to avoid the issue and simply slinging mud.
nice

Yes,
this one I like ;) much better!
Gawd, Trey fits the bill for slimey politician BT.
The DP is proof that the grassroots support for Ron Paul and his peaceful message of individual liberty is large, real, and not going away!
I agree, very nicely done...
liked the clown/cartoon music in the background...very succinct I would say.
