A real "star" of the Democratic Party...

1. I agree

2. A breath of fresh air!

Is Kentucky in the South?

One of my pet peeves is a southern Democrat who can't help but turn a gathering into a camp meeting, and invoking dead relatives watching over us, and God and Jesus this-and-that.

Alison Grimes didn't or at least refrained, and I appreciate and recognize this in a true fellow Democrat! She also has a progressive populist bent. No wonder she called on Elizabeth Warren to campaign!

A star!

3. She is also a champion of small business...

She was able to streamline all the paperwork required to start up a small business in the state of Kentucky.

She gets better every time I hear her speak.

I think she is great!

4. I always considered Kentucky to be at a crossroads between the South,

the mid-Atlantic, and the Midwest.

5. At one time, Kentucky was the "West"...

Here is Alison's Kick-off speech: She speaks to Kentucky.

6. Different areas of the state reflect each of those places.

Here in the eastern part of the state, we're more like the South.

7. I think you are probably right.

Southeastern and Eastern Kentucky are much like the South. I don't know if it is because we are the poorest part of the state?

8. Kentucky is south. Kentucky is midwest. Kentucky is a little north and a little east.

The nation's crossroads and within a day's drive of like 3/4 the population of the country.

I like Allison and committed to help with her campaign yesterday because I'm a Mitch hating motherfucker but I think she isn't particularly liberal, just seems that way in comparison and I suspect strongly that she will often piss me right off (to tight with and indebted to the Clintons).

That said, she'll be an astronomical upgrade from McConnell and that is good for Kentucky and for America.

9. I think she will be more of an "independent" Democrat...

...and I am not sure that isn't a good thing at this time.

In some way, she reminds me of a female JFK... the "independence" part. I think she will be a leader of the women's political movement in this country. I've liked what I have heard her say in her speeches.

10. DUers report having pretty good incomes.

This race in Kentucky could be a game changer. New Democratic Senator, take out the Number One Republican leader.

If money makes a difference - and you all have seen what Alison Grimes can do with 30 seconds - maybe this is where our money can matter.

WE need to Koch Brother Mitch McConnell!

11. Yep!

Good idea!
