Rasmussen: Beshear’s Approval at 59% (& Other KY Horse Race Numbers)

October 5, 2009 – 5:18 pm

Lots of super-interesting numbers from Rasmussen out today, chief among them our governor’s rock steady 59-percent approval rating, which has been the lauded subject of an upbeat KDP communique “making the rounds.”
Kentuckians see that Governor Beshear makes decisions based upon what is in the best interest of Kentuckians, not what is politically expedient.  Our Governor [...]

Conway’s Pottymouth of Doom & Terror!

August 3, 2009 – 1:17 pm

Hrmm. Joe Gerth has a fascinating column out in today’s C-J that is notable for a few reasons, but mainly it’s about how state AG Jack Conway used more curse words than any other speaker at Saturday’s Fancy Farm Picnic and how he is now therefore liable to get painted as a “Hitler” by his [...]

OMG! Mongiardo Didn’t Raise Gobs of Money!

July 15, 2009 – 9:55 pm

So you’ve heard by now that Daniel “Duh” Mongiardo has raised only $302,000 in this second quarter, which is, like, way less than Jack Conway, who raised eleventy-billion dollars from his network of out-of-state Communist financiers and assorted kitten smugglers.
There’s not really a whole lot to say about this (Mongiardo is inept, doomed, or both) [...]

Disturbing Scene From Appalachia

July 9, 2009 – 2:20 pm

As we approach that barbecue soaked, bile duct-loosening event known, colloquially, as the Fancy Farm Picnic & Oratory Thunderdome, one issue that will certainly be out in full force is mountaintop removal (MTR) mining.
To postulate an obvious political equation: The current landscape in Democratic Primaryland dictates that supporters of the practice will likely be Daniel [...]

OMG! Conway Raised Gobs O’ Money!

July 8, 2009 – 3:25 pm

File under: Duh.
Jack Conway’s campaign just sent out a blanket email earlier today announcing the $1.325 million his apparatus has raised during this first quarter of fundraising season. Sure, the figure is notable for a couple of reasons (it’s apparently the largest amount raised by a candidate in Kentucky history; it triples the amount raised [...]

Paradoxes Already Rampant in 2010 Election

June 29, 2009 – 4:39 pm

So I just read PageOne’s take on Jack Conway’s hideous and recently retracted Google ad, which appeared as though it had been designed by a four-year-old using MS paint with a broken mouse (because I know), yet, in true quantum-mechanical fashion, the observation has become as important as the observed object.
Put another way, their take [...]

Conway Sweeps Local Labor Off Its Feet

June 8, 2009 – 2:31 pm

Who can say no to that face, those eyes, or them left-wing credentials?
Attorney General Jack Conway secured more endorsements Monday for his U.S. Senate bid in 2010, mainly from his home county.
UFCW Local 227, Teamsters Local 89, Jefferson County Teachers Association (JCTA), UFCW IN-KY State Council, UFCW Distillery Workers Council, UFCW Chemical Workers Council and [...]

Let The Cat-Fighting Begin

May 28, 2009 – 6:31 pm

Or would ‘Donkey-Fighting’ be more accurate? In any event, Jack “The Jaw” Conway claims that his Democratic primary rival Daniel “The Coal-Loving Homophobe” Mongiardo has spun the results of an internal poll, which depicts the Lt. Governor with a hilarious fifteen-point lead.
PageOne offers a succinct and rather biting response from Conway campaign manager Mark Riddle, [...]

Conway Solves Science Mystery

April 23, 2009 – 9:22 pm

How did we miss this?

It’s unclear whether Conway’s primary challenger, Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo, also understands this fundamental natural occurrence. As for incumbent Senator Jim Bunning? He is THE THUNDER, BROTHER!!!!!

Bunning: Footloose & Cancer-Free

April 17, 2009 – 11:26 am

Two-term incumbent wiseacre/idiot savant Jim Bunning is hilarious. So we offer you this passage from a C-J story regarding his recently disclosed fund-raising totals, which are *gasp* depressingly low:

“Everyone had been looking to see, with all this talk that the (financial) spigots had been turned off — can Bunning raise the money?” said Stuart Rothenberg, [...]
