In the increasingly rough and tumble race for the U.S. Senate, one candidate now says his opponent is not a Kentuckian.

Secretary of State Trey Grayson is being labeled as a republican insider by eye surgeon Rand Paul.

Now Grayson is calling Paul an “Outsider.”

“He's an outsider, he's not a Kentuckian. You know I'm a 5th generation Kentuckian, educated here in the public schools, raising my family here. The reason so why so many thousands of Kentuckians are helping out my campaign is they've seen my record as secretary of state, they've seen me deliver on what I promised,” Grayson said.

You can hear Grayson's entire interview Monday night at seven on Issues & Answers The Mountain Edition on WYMT.
