Did you see Dick Cheney just endorsed Trey Grayson, running against Ron Paul's son Rand Paul, in the KY Senate?

race?

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2010/03/24/cheney-wa...

Rand is ahead in polls by double digits and while AIG's lobbyist through a fundraiser last month raising Grayson $200,000, Rand Paul yesterday raised $260,000 in a 24 hour money bomb from small donor supporters. Sarah Palin and Steve Forbes have endorsed Rand Paul.

What do you think is going on here?

Update:

Personally, I wish Cheney had endorsed Grayson BEFORE Rand' money bomb yesterday....

Update 2:

Holy Cow, if Rand were willing to sell out, Cheney wouldn't be worried about him.

    I think its a great endorsement for Rand Paul,

    Cheney was A BIG part of the problem to begin with.

    I saw him interviewed on "The Rachel Maddow Show" a few months ago. He seems somewhat sensible and coherent. Must've inherited it from his mother. Or maybe it skipped a generation. Or maybe whatever Ron's got skipped Rand's generation. Either way, he's a step up (at least) from his father. And he would definitely be a step up from Jim Bunning: Great pitcher in his time, but a political lunatic.

    If I could only find the words to express my utter shock. hm... All that comes to mind is 1 mV @ .001 amps.

    Seriously, we all saw this coming. The old-guard of the Republican party is scrambling to shore up its base of support. As the smoke clears from the health care bill and all Americans realize what they got, the Democratic party will join in the scramble.

    Perhaps we should invent a board game about Dems and Repubs called "Scramble" ... based on Scrabble only with no rules.

    the Republicans have been against Ron Paul for many years now and now his son. seems to me these men are too constitutional for the Reps and just goes to show that the 2 parties are actually one and the same.

    IT'S NOT OVER.

    THE COURT BATTLES ARE JUST BEGINNING - THIS BILL IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

    Hope all the progressive dems voting for this health care reform have a big tube of KY jelly in their desk come November cause they're gonna need it!

    Rand and Trey are both for sale to the highest bidder.
