Dick Cheney endorses Grayson in U.S. Senate race

FRANKFORT — Former Vice President Dick Cheney is endorsing Secretary of State Trey Grayson in his Republican bid for the U.S. Senate, the Grayson campaign announced Wednesday.

“I’m a lifelong conservative, and I can tell the real thing when I see it,” Cheney said in a statement. “I have looked at the records of both candidates in the race, and it is clear to me that Trey Grayson is right on the issues that matter – both on fiscal responsibility and on national security.”

Cheney added, “There is no doubt that the real conservative in this race is Trey Grayson, and there is no better choice for Kentuckians in May and November.”

David Adams, campaign manger for Rand Paul, Grayson’s chief rival in the May 18 GOP primary election, said Cheney “appears to have the Grayson campaign false attack ads and establishment politicians in Washington as his only source of information.”

“Had he spoken to Rand Paul or read his positions, he would know that Rand Paul stands for a strong national defense,” Adams said.

He added that endorsements for Paul include Sarah Palin, who ran for vice president in 2008.

Grayson’s campaign manager, Nate Hodson, said Cheney is following the U.S. Senate races across the nation and contacted Grayson’s staff about endorsing Grayson. ...

Editor's comment: with Dick Cheney endorsing Trey and SILLY Sarah endorsing Rand, the battle for the heart and soul of Kentucky's Conservatives begins.

The question becomes: who is more loathed than the other?

Stay tuned.
