U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul is holding a 3 p.m. rallyin Lexington, Ky. to support Sen. Jim Bunning’s (R-Ky.) block on extending unemployment and health insurance. “Jim Bunning is being unfairly attacked for saying we should spend money already set aside for benefits rather than borrowing more,” says Paul in a press release. “He deserves our support and he is going to get it.”
I called the campaign of Paul’s rival, Trey Grayson, and will update when I find out what, if anything, he is doing in reaction to Bunning.
