Who cares what a U.S. Senate candidate thinks about the issues?! As long as he's not a Duke fan!
Ahhh, what a candidate will do when he's losing a race he was supposed to win. Voters in Kentucky are really (not) wrestling with the things that matter, thanks to U.S. Senate candidate Trey Grayson. In a new ad, Grayson, a Republican, distinguishes himself from primary opponent Republican Rand Paul not over health care reform or the deficit but over ..... Duke vs. Kentucky basketball.
His ad shows grainy video of his opponent acknowledging he is a Duke fan. Grayson then swears his allegiance to the Wildcats. "I approved this message because I will always cheer for the Big Blue," Grayson says without a hint of tongue in cheek.
Maybe Grayson should be more concerned about the critical problems facing America and Kentucky, including education. His beloved Wildcats have one of the worst academic performances in the nation, with just 31 percent of players graduating. At Duke, 92 percent of players graduate. It's probably too much to ask for, but we hope this scheme backfires on Grayson.
Here's Grayson's pitiful ploy.

You're right, this guy can't compete on the issues, so he appeals to the people on a "simpler" level. One that does not require analytical thought or actual concern for the well being of their state. This is actually good news for the people of Kentucky though. It should make it pretty clear that Rand Paul is the man for the job, not this clueless fella.
This is a new low.....pathetic.
This might work in Kentucky... Seriously.
of course it could work, thats why he did it.
Rand Paul is a deceitful loon
It's brilliant! Lighten up!
