“This is why Paul hid from the press during his election; he’s an apologist for big corporations, and he knew it wouldn’t play well with the public. “

I dunno. Paul was so obviously out of sync with most eastern and central Kentucky (re: poor and working poor) it’s hard to believe that anything he could say would endear him to working class Kentuckians - the bulk of the state.

So, as a native born Bluegrasser, I just have to conclude that Conway never stood a chance because Paul didn’t run against Conway, he ran against the black guy. You know, they guy who is black. And president. Yup. Kentucky has a lot of bigots. There just is no other reasonable explanation.

Bend me over and fuck me dead. I never wanted to live in the 50’s, but here we are.
