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 [...]

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) [...]

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 [...]

Bunning Continues to Self-Implode

July 7, 2009 – 7:18 pm

Did you hear that Jim Bunning crawled out of his underground bunker/iron lung/padded cell long enough to say something hilarious earlier this fine day without setting a member of the press on fire with his telekinetic death-rays? He did! Re-election is imminent!
Bunning told reporters Tuesday that he doesn’t expect his fundraising total for the second [...]

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 [...]

An Open Letter to Mike Reynard

June 25, 2009 – 3:34 pm

To: Mike Reynard, Press Secretary for the Office of U.S. Senator Jim Bunning,
Let’s for a moment forget everything we’ve said about your candidate/boss, Sen. Jim Bunning — that he’s doomed, incompetent and perhaps in dire need of a DSM IV evaluation — and talk about the future. Specifically, his future.
Although a distrust of The Courier-Journal [...]

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, [...]

Say Anything, Jim.

May 19, 2009 – 12:06 pm

So sad, really, when two of your friends just can’t get along… you know the love is there, but it just comes out all wrong.
The latest passive-aggressive statement from Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Krazy) to his colleague and estranged friend Sen. Mitch McConnell involves the former accusing the latter of being a “control freak,” and then [...]
