(WHAS11) - The surprise candidate in Kentucky's Republican U.S. Senate primary tells WHAS11 News he is reaching out to senior Senator, Mitch McConnell.

Rand Paul is a Bowling Green eye surgeon. His campaign's poll numbers and fundraising success have stunned party leaders and it is early in the game...

The party can't ignore Paul now. He was leading in the last week's WHAS11/Survey USA poll.

Paul's campaign derides some politicians as "Rino's" or Republicans in name only who are not true to the party platform.

“Republicans do not believe of government ownership of business and yet we voted for it, we voted for a bank bailout where for the first time government is owning private business in our country....

“I'm a physician. I do eye surgery in Bowling Green. I've been active for many years in Kentucky with Kentucky taxpayers united,” says Paul...

Mitch McConnell and other Senate Republicans had hosted a fundraiser for Trey Grayson in August.

But Rand Paul is now scheduled to meet face to face with McConnell in Kentucky this Friday.
