"Can Anna Little Pull Off a Rand Paul?"

By Michael Illions from "Conservatives with Attitude"

In politics, there are a few markers if you will, used to gauge the outcome of a particular race by the outcome of another. Those markers are trends and comparability.

In New Jersey for example, only one of the upcoming NJ GOP Primary races in June matches up closely with the Rand Paul vs. Trey Grayson US Senate Primary race out of Kentucky.

And that race is Anna Little, grassroots Conservative vs. Diane Gooch establishment RINO in the 6th Congressional District.

The funny thing about last night’s race in Kentucky is that Trey Grayson has more in common with Rand Paul politically then Diane Gooch has with Anna Little. And the results last night were a landslide victory for Rand Paul.

So how do we capture that winning model for Anna Little here in New Jersey. Of course it takes money, and Rand Paul raised it. Anna Little will have a more difficult time doing so against self-funding millionaire Diane Gooch, and with Gooch’s husband not donating to Frank Pallone this election cycle, she will have even more to spend on her own campaign!

But putting money aside, Anna Little is receiving the same support, endorsements from Conservatives and Tea Party people that Rand Paul received. And while Rand Paul received endorsements from Nationally known Conservative figures, that was for a State-wide race, while Anna Little’s endorsement are coming from Tea Party in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and her endorsements are coming from New Jersey Conservatives and Conservative organizations, but for a more compact race in a defined area.
