Frankfort, KY – In the wake of Tuesday's primary election, around 200 Kentucky Republicans turned out for a unity rally Saturday at state GOP headquarters in Frankfort.
The spotlight fell mostly on Senate President David Williams, the Republican gubernatorial nominee. After getting all of Tuesday's winners to join him on stage, Williams launched into an attack on Gov. Steve Beshear, the Democratic nominee. And it's clear Williams is going to keep making an issue of Gov. Beshear's recent snub of President Obama at Ft. Campbell.
"There are some things more important than politics, and honoring those folks are more important than that. Steve Beshear went to a horse race because he was worried about his own race."
U.S. Senator Rand Paul appeared briefly via the Internet, but Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was at the rally. He said the best way to stop President Obama and get Kentucky going in the right direction, all on the same day, would be to elect David Williams governor.
