Joe Arnold interviewed Dr. Rand Paul this evening for WHAS in Louisville and boy does the report he filed tell a story that no one would have expected just a few weeks ago:
So who is he and does he have a chance?
Most Kentucky political observers expected the democrats to duke it out in the senate primary while Republican Trey Grayson sat back and prepared for the fall campaign.
But Rand Paul and the sudden uprising of fiscal conservatism in the tea party movement appears to have changed all that.
Rand Paul's fearlessness is triggering anxiety among the GOP establishment, who did not expect a senate primary fight.
The party can't ignore Paul now. He was leading in the last week's WHAS11/Survey USA poll.
But the real blockbuster in Joe's report is that Rand Paul is scheduled to meet face to face with Mitch McConnell (later this month rather than Friday as originally reported).
My, my, my.

What I find interesting is Tray Grayson told the Wall Street journal he was going to be criticizing McConnell for voting for the bailouts. Then in the same breath he's issuing a press release about being mad at Paul for refusing to endorse him.
Ideological conservatives put pressure on GOP
