Have we all heard the now-infamous recording of Lt. Gov. and Senate candidate Daniel Mongiardo bashing Gov. Steve Beshear? (If you haven’t, listen here)
Beshear dismissed the first clip as chicanery, but this second recording may be harder to brush off.
The clips are posted under two different YouTube accounts and are (as of 11:15 Wednesday) the only videos posted.
The first clip is posted by user senrace2010. The next video is posted by kentuckyfight10.
Both accounts were created on September 18th. Kentucky Fight was also the name Rand Paul supporters gave to their last money bomb. The video on the Kentucky Fight homepage, though, is posted by YouTube user LastStandingGround.
Why would a Republican candidate’s supporters push damning information about a financially-weak Democratic candidate during the primary? Perhaps this isn’t the work of Paul and the username kentuckyfight10 is a coincidence or inspired by the money bomb. Perhaps this person knows Tjenkins106.
What happens if Beshear gets fed up with Mongiardo over this? If Mongiardo steps down, will Jerry Abramson get to start his dream job as Lieutenant Governor early?
I wonder, though, who recorded these comments.

When you write “financially-weak” you dismiss Mongiardo’s consistent lead in the polls. Are you trying to make it seem like Mongiardo hasn’t been the front-runner in this race? If you are, you haven’t been paying attention.
Obviously, the repugs think of Mongiardo as a clear threat in the general, despite the financial situation that everyone likes to harp on.

I’d highly doubt Paul had anything to do with it. And more than likely I’d say the person that made the recordings read speculation online that it was Paul supporters and decided that was a nice patsy to shift the speculation towards. I can’t see his supporters bothering targetting Mongiardo right now; they clearly have their sites set on Charles Grayson III.
