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 Bad Words Go National

August 6, 2009 – 10:39 am

OMG! Stephen Colbert weighs in on the Fancy Farm nonsense — and Jack’s choice of words — thereby validating the picnic for the next 1,000 years. Not surprisingly, Mongiardo winds up looking like a goober.

Conway’s Pottymouth of Doom & Terror! (Part 2)

August 3, 2009 – 10:01 pm

It looks like someone has already decided to craft a campaign ad splicing Jack Conway’s oh-so-shocking display of amoral, unborn-baby killing profanity with … scared children!
A caveat: The only problems with this ad are (1) it suggests that a man who’s just started a family of his own is, somehow, terrifying to stock footage of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

More Inane Conway/Mongiardo Bullshit

June 1, 2009 – 7:02 pm

Before I tell you the obvious (it’s too nice outside to even be reading this; which means it’s far too early in the year to be discussing the he saids-she saids of a Senate primary nearly ten months down the road; which means who gives a flying fuck anyway; et al.), let’s discuss the fighting [...]

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, [...]
