Sarah Palin is coming to Kentucky to help Rand Paul. The original Mama Grizzly plans to help Paul raise some cash and, no doubt, shore up his support among the tea party base that helped him win the Republican nomination for Senate in Kentucky.
The pair will appear together at a “lunchtime fundraiser at a Louisville hotel Thursday.” The date happens to be “the same day the former Alaska governor is to speak at a gospel music convention in town,” according to the AP.
Polls in the Kentucky Senate race have been erratic lately, with some showing Paul with a huge lead and others showing Democratic nominee Jack Conway tied with him. The TPM Poll Average shows Paul leading the contest 47.1-41.4 .
