John Hawkins explains, from his Briefing on the key GOP Senate primaries at Right Wing News:
Grayson voted for Bill Clinton in 1992, trashed Sarah Palin publicly as being unqualified to be President, he's run a sleazy campaign, and he's Mitch McConnell's protege, which I find worrisome. Rand Paul, who is Ron Paul's son, is not a perfect candidate either. Although he's not as much of a Libertarian as his father, he's generally terrible on foreign policy issues and probably isn't quite as good a candidate as Grayson (the Paulites will make sure he is flush with cash at least), but either of them should be favored in what will likely be a competitive Senate race. On the other hand, Paul is ferociously dedicated to shrinking government and cutting spending, which isn't Trey Grayson's strong suit. At the end of the day, both Grayson and Paul are imperfect, but respectable choices for the Senate. Paul's just plain old better where it matters most though, on spending and small government issues.Federalism rules! Read Hawkins' complete GOP Senate primaries briefing here.
