I'm fairly confident that the money will be there. It would surprise me if it wasn't, my understanding and my assumption is that's not an issue, that the Paul campaign will ensure the funding of the caucus. If for some reason if that were not to happen, that would complicate things. But I have no reason to believe that would not happen.

Sen. Paul reaffirmed his intent to pay for the caucus. $250,000 is to be raised or transferred to (the Republican Party of Kentucky) by September 18. If the money is not there by the 18th, it will revert back to a presidential primary instead of the caucus, details on the remaining balance will be determined as the process unfolds.

We're ignored. It has been pretty boring in presidential races, the most attractive part for a lot of folks is whether or not this will attract attention to Kentucky and make us relevant in the Republican nomination process.

Right now, the biggest selling point would be if we could attract five, six, seven candidates here to compete for Kentucky's delegates, that's a heck of a lot more exciting than Kentucky's last election cycle.

The two questions that came up consistently were concerns about the Senate race and concerns about the funding.
