| MCCONNELL 2014 — Rand Paul reticent about potential Tea Party challenger to McConnell – WFPL’s Phillip Bailey – “Speaking in downtown Louisville on Wednesday, Paul says he has been following news reports about the race but hasn’t had a chance to speak with Bevin directly. “I haven’t had any real discussions with him or others about it other than to say I’ve heard the same rumors,” says Paul. “I’ve met him before and I’m pretty sure he’s a supporter of mine.” … Paul told reporters he is backing McConnell’s re-election bid, but when asked why Tea Party activists in Louisville and across the state haven’t followed suit, Kentucky’s junior senator was stumped. “You know, I don’t know if I have an answer really,” he says.” [WFPL]
