Midterm Elections, Rand Paul | featured news

During a debate Sunday between Rand Paul and Jack Conway, a revealing exchange reminiscent of one during the Massachusetts senate race.

Kentucky senatorial candidate Rand Paul said Tuesday he's planning a campaign staff shake-up a week after a round of interviews in which he dismayed fellow Republicans by discussing his views on racial segregation.

A conservative who won the Republican Party nomination for U.S. senator in Kentucky tried on Thursday to repair the damage on Thursday from comments he made that suggested he did not fully support civil rights laws.

Rand Paul is on the cusp of becoming a national celebrity – the dragon-slayer who defeated in a primary up-and-coming Trey Grayson, the 38-year-old Kentucky secretary of state and the anointed pick of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
