1. Dear Kentucky...

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MINDS?!

[villager]

2. They have -- and I wonder what our country will be like when our "Reich" phase

...is finally expiated from the body politic?

[tridim]

4. It's the Oxy.

[nmbluesky]

8. Rememeber

KY love red

[Fire1]

9. They just don't have enough dems in hooterville. n/t

[Grown2Hate]

10. Oddly enough, they actually have MORE registered Dems than Pukes, which I don't

really get. Doesn't seem to jive.

[Fire1]

18. That's why I don't buy it. I think it's the other way around and

has been for a very long time.

[secondwind]

25. 40% of KY is ILLITERATE. Speaks volumes.

[polichick]

3. They must love thugs in Kentucky. nt

6. damn, I was hopeful on this race a few weeks ago

Looks like the Aqua Buddha ad backfired?

[Thrill]

11. Kentucky is on the level of AL and OK

States that are Lost causes.

[underpants]

12. Paul will win

the Tea Baggers will claim him and, like Scott Brown, he will act like they are lepers

[AlinPA]

13. That is expected. Kentucky is a red state. He will replace Bunning, another asshole.

[OhioBlue]

14. damn. n/t

[Dawson Leery]

15. I have never gone to Kentucky, and have no desire to in the future.

[texastoast]

16. You'll miss the horses

And they are incredibly beautiful.

[Darth_Ole]

17. Screw you guys...

Kentucky a "lost cause"?

It must be the oxy?

Never going to Kentucky?


Most of you can kiss my Kentuckian progressive ass. There are lots of us who will be working extra hard in the GOTV effort to deliver this thing to Conway.

If we don't pull this thing out, most of it will probably be because of Aqua Buddha backlash, not because Kentucky is a "lost cause."

After all, Bunning only won by one percent in 2004. And this year's race isn't even over yet.

Yeah, Kentucky is not the most educated of states, but we suffer, too. We are the fifth poorest state in the union, and we need people trying to lift us up. Yeah, a lot of voters in our state are freaking stupid and vote against their economic interests because of "moral" issues that have little effect on them.

But Kentucky is NOT a lost cause. And if you believe in Howard Dean's 50-state strategy, you'll stop drawing conclusions about the entire state based on a series of polls! Stereotyping is not what we should be about. Kentucky, after all, has recently elected the likes of Wendell Ford, Paul Patton, John Yarmuth, Ben Chandler, and Steve Beshear (our current DEMOCRATIC governor). Fayette County, my home, saw 75% turnout for Democrats in 2008. What an astounding statistic!

And lest any of you assholes think we just need to saw off the south: Wisconsin is the one about to elect Ron Johnson, a guy who thinks global warming is caused by sunspots. And the other state close to my heart (my dad's home, Minnesota) is the one that elected Michele Bachmann. Michigan is about to give Granholm the boot, Ohio could elect Kasich, Pennsylvania could elect Toomey, etc.

Please give your condescension a rest.

19. Greetings from Barren County!

I just moved here from Tampa, FL (new job), and I think Kentucky does suffer from a lot of negative stereotyping. Idiots exist everywhere.

[texastoast]

20. +1

Aren't those regionally, judgmental assholes just so special?

In solidarity from Texas.

[maryellen99]

21. Uhhhh....

Granholm is not running due to term limits.

[BluegrassDem]

23. Kentucky doesn't have a monopoly on asshole politicians this year

Maine...blue Maine, is about to elect a wingnut for governor. Angle in Nevada, Johnson in Wisconsin, etc, etc. So no need on picking on Kentucky this cycle.

[phleshdef]

22. As a native WVian that grew up 30 minutes from the KY border, its a redneck problem.

You would think that his cold reaction to the whole head stomping incident would be enough to cut his lead, but there are some cutt throat ass people down that way and they vote.

[golfguru]

24. The answer is right here why Conway is behind...
