You know, I was scared enough when I heard that Trey Grayson had gotten Dick Cheney's endorsement, but no he wasn't done driving the nails into the coffin of his own campaign, not by a longshot...

That's right boys and girls, Rudy is the next one to endorse Republican Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson. Because who better than Mr. "no attacks under Bush" to give you a well reasoned endorsement. I am just curious though, are any Kentuckians falling for this?

From WKYT news out of Lexington...

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani endorsed Trey Grayson on Monday in the Republican primary race for U.S. Senate, a move intended to add some vigor to a sagging campaign.

Grayson, the darling of the Republican establishment, is trailing GOP outsider Rand Paul by double digits in public opinion polls. "Trey Grayson is the candidate in this race who will make the right decisions necessary to keep America safe and prevent more attacks on our homeland," Giuliani said in a written statement.

University of Kentucky political scientist Donald Gross said the Grayson campaign badly needed a big-name endorsement.

"The way Trey Grayson's campaign has been running, it's a very good thing," Gross said. "He needed an endorsement from someone who is well-liked by most of the conservative community. Although Giuliani doesn't fit that on some social issues, he's well respected and liked in the wake of 9/11."

Grayson, Kentucky's secretary of state, is one of five
Republicans seeking the GOP nomination to run for the seat of retiring Sen. Jim Bunning.

The Paul campaign dismissed the Giuliani endorsement. "Another pro-abortion, liberal, northeastern Republican endorsing Trey Grayson is just more bad news for him," campaign manager David Adams said Monday...(MORE)

Ok, even more reason to push for Jack Conway for Bunning's senate seat. Who is with me? Rudy Giuliani, Puh-leeze!
