Rand Paul, son of Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) has beaten Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson in the Republican Primary! With 81% of the votes counted, Paul is leading Grayson 59% to 35%.
Kentucky Republicans have shown that "Establishment" Republicans aren't necessarily as desirable as new candidates. Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, backed Grayson. Paul was backed by multiple TEA Party groups, Sarah Palin and Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC).
The surge that Paul rode to the election win shows that in the Land of Bourbon, Tea is still quite palatable.
