KY-Sen: Rand Paul flips on discrimination in private hiring: A spokesperson for Rand Paul has confirmed to Greg Sargent that Paul thinks the federal government should ban private businesses from discriminating on the basis of race in their hiring practices. This is the exact opposite of what Paul has stated in the past, not what he has said in the past, and just last night he said that the federal government did not have the right to prevent private businesses from refusing to serve people on the basis of race. So much for Rand Paul at least being principled.
Meanwhile, Rasmussen shows Rand Paul ahead by 25%. Their polling in Kentucky has been particularly henke, to the tune of a 14% house effect so far this year. Non-Rasmussen polling in Kentucky current shows Paul ahead by only 1%
