It’s the economy, stupid. Again.
The same issue that became the focus of Bill Clinton’s upstart 1992 presidential campaign is overwhelmingly the top concern of Kentuckians in the 2008 race, according to a Herald-Leader/WKYT Kentucky Poll.
And Kentuckians — a plurality of whom [...]
Democrats interested in finally ending Sen. Mitch McConnell's long publicly financed stay in Washington should vote for Bruce Lunsford in the senatorial primary.
Mr. Lunsford is versed in the substance of major federal issues affecting Kentucky. That's important, if one presumes to square off against our senior senator.
Mr. Lunsford has the [...]

U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton enters the final week before Kentucky's May 20 Democratic presidential primary with a commanding 27 percentage point lead over U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, a new poll shows.

Very good move and I find it amazing that Obama has captured the first real group of Kentucky superdelegates while being beating like a rented mule in the polls. I also remember Senator Kerry being jobbed in the Kentucky presidential polls in 2004. Lets just hope the superdelegates and the [...]
Hahahahahaha. Are scary Mitt and Roy Blunt on crack? Think Progress indicates that they've "lost their bearings."
On CNN’s Late Edition today, former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) claimed that the argument that John McCain would, in effect, be a third Bush term “isn’t going to stick”:

Part IV of IV of KDP Fundraiser Coverage: She’s In It To…Something, The Lighting Was Bad, OK?, and Quotes of The Night are I-III
A little bit of background here: I am not now, nor have I ever been, a resident of Kentucky’s 3rd Congressional District–my mother is, [...]
Okay, folks, we just need one more person to agree to add five events to the BGR calendar per month. Five people have already signed up and with that critical sixth person, the project will "tip" into "action mode."
(Is this exciting for anyone else or is it just [...]
Barack Obama is now saying he understands Kentucky. Most specifically, Kentucky coal.
I gotta go with the thoughts of the RNC on this one: "Barack Obama is telling Kentucky voters he 'understands' coal, but fails to mention that he has proposed taxing coal, voted against coal-to-liquid legislation, and that his [...]
Mainstream media outlets tell a lot about their view of the world by how they label news items. The Lexington Herald Leader, for instance, took a story other people might view with pride or even reverence and labeled it "weird news."
I don't know which is weirder to them, that a [...]
We hear from reliable sources that Senator Barack Obama will be at the University of Kentucky on Tuesday to campaign for the U.S. Presidency.
Obama staffers visited the school today in preparation.
We also hear that Obama will be playing basketball in an attempt to one-up his game at UNC.

Lunsford's the one

Happy M-Day, here’s 50 degree weather and rain! Hooray!
Anyway, here’s the news, views, and useless fun stuff that’s crossed my feed reader since I went to work, and yes, the Yarmuth bit is next.
Hmmmm. Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo (D) is not a super delegate, but the endorsement is interesting to see. Although barring some strange act that no-one presently sees Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) will win Kentucky on May 20, Sen. Barack Obama (D) will nevertheless be the Democratic nominee.
My question is: [...]
