Democrats seem intent on not repeating the stay home fail of 2010.
Kentucky politics expert Joe Sonka of Insider Louisville reported hearing that turnout has already hit 20% in some Louisville precincts.
Louisville and Lexington are likely Democratic areas where Democratic Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes will need huge turnout in order to have a chance at ousting incumbent Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

(25,183 posts)Of course, there's a difference between a preacher-type who is used to haranguing people from a pulpit, and the boring turtle-man. I think that's what disqualifies him.

(6,107 posts)often turn out not to mean anything. But I would love to se the turtle gone. I have Kentucky friends and would be very happy for them, as well as for the country.

(1,290 posts)I know right. Heavy turnout was reported in Walker recall and everybody was excited all day about what that could mean and then well, Kathy Nicklaus from Waukesha came up with all those hidden votes on her computer and the rest is history.
But still, I will take any sort of good news down there in Kentucky!!

for incumbents. I hope that is so in TurkeyNecks's case.

(199 posts)around noon. The parking lot was full. Two years ago, I voted around the same time and it wasn't that crowded. Don't know what that means, but I hope it's good. 30 miles east of Lexington.
Can't stomach the thought of McConnell once again.

(2,785 posts)but I only believe what I see and when I went to vote this afternoon there was only like 3 or 4 people in there. There is usually more, but then again I normally vote in the morning so we will see.
