Republican Unity Rally
KENTUCKY...
Republican U.S. Senate nominee Rand Paul was joined at a unity rally in Frankfort on Saturday by his chief primary election rival. The last time Paul and Secretary of State Trey Grayson appeared together publicly they were engaged in a bitter race for the seat of retiring Sen. Jim Bunning. Paul easily won the nomination in last Tuesday's primary. Protesters were demonstrating outside Kentucky's Republican Party headquarters while GOP leaders met inside to pledge their support for U.S. Senate nominee Rand Paul. Paul ruffled feathers earlier this week when he expressed misgivings about the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Fresh off a lopsided victory in the Kentucky's primary election, Paul said he abhors racial discrimination, but suggested the federal government shouldn't have the power to force restaurants to serve minorities. About 20 protesters gathered outside, some with signs accusing Paul of racism.
