Rand Paul has expanded his lead in the Kentucky Senate race even further over the last week and is headed for a blowout win. His margin over Jack Conway is 55-40.
Kentucky is obviously a conservative state. Conway's ability to win was always going to depend on getting a lot of folks who supported John McCain in 2008 to vote Democratic for the Senate this time around. The most amazing finding on this final poll is that Rand Paul is actually picking up more Obama voters (15%) than Conway is McCain voters (9%). That's the formula for a landslide.

Looks like Conway never should've said the words "Aqua Buddha." This is even with the fallout from the controversy from the stomping incident at the debate on Monday, since the polling was done between Thursday and Saturday.
You know why Rand Paul's doing so much better than his father in a prominent race? Because he's no Ron Paul. He's just a somewhat more conservative than typical Republican, not a Republitarian darling.
I totally expected these results coming from the land of about 9 million people and 16 last names.
