A recent poll concluded on July 28th is ultimately in favor of Incumbent Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell but shows Libertarian David Patterson commanding a commendable seven percent, a 7% which is sadly still 3% shy of the 10% requirement rumored to be necessary to qualify for the preposed KET Debates Hosted by Bill Goodman October 13th.
As tens of millions of Federal Reserve Notes pour in to Kentucky saturating our television, phones and radios with establishment campaign propaganda and rhetoric in Grimes-McConnell banter perpetuating political duopoly in a race that is shaping up to be the most expensive political contest to date, Patterson's campaign has pulled together enough contributions to effectively fund his petition drive which is nearing completion having collected well in excess of the 5,000 signatures necessary to file but with a 60%+ Validity rate the petitioning must go on to secure ballot access by the August 12th filing deadline, a deadline that Libertarian Party Chair Ken Moellman "isn't to worried about meeting".
Once Patterson is on Novembers ballot it'll really "throw a wrench in to things" as WKYT's Bill Bryant put it, when ask for comment Patterson replied "The press is so colorful. I find it interesting that the percentage McConnell is ahead remains the same wether I am in the race of not. Kinda ruins the 'spoiler' argument", preemptively deflating any accusations from the establishment.
