Can I just apologize for my state right now? (Kentucky)

[Roland99]

Sorry folks. Not much I can do about it.

[firedupdem]

1. I live in nebraska...trust me....i understand! n/t

[Rainbowreflect]

59. Me too! Although a great Obama rally last night in Lincoln.

[iamthebandfanman]

2. why should we apologize?

its not like the campaign put much effort into kentucky

this was expected and accepted along time ago.


no need to apologize.


we voted , thats all we could do. so long as u voted the same way i did, theres no need for apologies

[rebel with a cause]

And the republicans saturated the airways with their trash,

especially the last week or so of the campaign. I'm in Illinois but I get some of your stations, and I know I got sick of seeing their ads with the little bit I watched them.

[Motown_Johnny]

3. we understand. not your fault

[Ian David]

4. I'm jealous. You get to witness more misery tomorrow than I will here in Mass. n/t

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

49. LOL!

:rofl:

[yellowdogintexas]

5. I grew up in Kentucky and now live in Texas. Double Whammy. no need to apologize

[treestar]

6. No apologies needed

You are a hero for living there and fighting the good fight.

:yourock:

[gateley]

7. That's okay -- you're one of the ones in Obama's 35%!

Was this expected -- did they think it would be closer?

[maddezmom]

8. No need to apologize

as long as you voted. :hug: Believe me I know how you feel.

[cynatnite]

9. My state of TN is going to look about the same, Roland...

:hug:

[tulsakatz]

28. same here in Oklahoma......

trust me, I know how you guys feel. Just once it would be nice to know that my state voted for the best candidate but I'll settle for him being elected!!
Whether or not my state contributed to that....

[Dem_4_Life]

10. No worries...It is not your fault.

I can relate in Texas.

[kilaana]

11. No worries...

We'll make up the difference for ya here in Indiana!

[spanone]

12. i'm in tennessee, can we duet?

[pkz]

13. It ain't you Kentuck...I may make the same apology

for West Virginia

[Zombie2]

14. I'm right across the river in Indiana...

At least we'll know which counties to avoid... if not the entire state.

[azmouse]

15. You could make it up to us by

sending us all a bottle of bourbon. ;) :hi:

[Robeson]

16. This Tennessee cousin feels you pain.

[codjh9]

17. Hey - only if I can apologize for TX, but hey, besides voting, I tried to help in a few

other ways...

[Beaverhausen]

18. we californians made up for you

:hug:

[leftyclimber]

19. Oh, hell, we're neighbors.

<---- No need to apologize. ;)

[Bryn]

20. I noticed that Kentucky is hopelessly RED!

Don't worry. Maybe they will see the Light when Obama is in charge. I am also in red state, Arkansas. :hi:

[iamthebandfanman]

24. ignorance combined with racism will have that effect.

oh the irony of people who vote against their own self interests.

we also had a democratic governor who by all accounts said nothing of obama...

[LaurenG]

21. I lived in Ft Thomas in 2000 (for 3 years), before moving across the river

My neighbors put republican signs in my yard in 2000 and when I pulled them up they never spoke to us again - ever! I can only say - This is not your fault, I know how it can be there.

edit spelling

[NewJeffCT]

22. Hey - my state is responsible for Lieberman

I feel your pain.

[K Gardner]

23. Only if I can apologize for Tennessee. Fortunately, tonight I'm in California and I wonder if TN

will be standing when I get home in five days. There will be some seriously mad, delusional Freepingly scary people.

My grandson and I got kicked out of the District Homeschool Assn because we supported Obama. I'm going to call them up when I get back to see if they're all living in their root cellars.

[jwirr]

25. Have they called it already? That return is probably from rural areas,

[Haole Girl]

26. I'll apologize, in advance, for Texas too.

:-(

[mrcheerful]

27. Come on my friend, from what I read about Kentucky in history

It's not very liberal and the knuckle draggers rule. Btw, isn't this the state that has the creation museum? Sorry if I'm wrong, I tend to blow off where the crazies put their crazy shit as I sure don't want to visit one of those places, hell I would either get stoned or burned at the stake for rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.

[iamthebandfanman]

36. your history of kentucky is flawed

it hasnt always been knuckle draggers.
but yes, northern kentucky is where the 'museum' is located...


dont be afraid to come here, because so long as u dont get political with people they are pretty friendly.

the natural beauty of this state and the fine parks and outdoor activities will keep me here until im dead and gone.

we arent all uneducated and afraid of black people, believe that.

mind you, democrats out number republicans by a pretty good margin in kentucky...

[Gato Moteado]

58. kentucky is a beautiful state.....i've been there many times.......

there are a lot of democrats there but i think most are left overs from the dixiecrat days and they vote repub now. but i'm gonna keep my eyes on KY tonite....there might be a surprise in that state this year.

[jazzjunkysue]

29. Hey- Stupid people have to live somewhere. They'll catch on.

Obama's gonna win em over. Give him time.

[medicswife]

30. Yeah, I live in KY too, but I vote in WA. I'm glad seeing these results that I

kept my absentee status in Washington.

[lucabrasi]

31. No need!

I'm originally from KY (in NYC now) and I know how it goes there.

[Gato Moteado]

32. yes, your state sucks today....but.........

....you don't suck. in fact, we love you and sympathize with you for having to deal with living in a place where two out of every three folks are morons. i lived in TX for 11 years, so i know exactly what it feels like.

[Gato Moteado]

53. whoa.......the polls are tightening up........

maybe my 2 outta 3 people statement was too harsh. seems like ol' kane-tuck is better than the early returns made it seem. maybe we can depose mcconnell. i'm keeping the faith and keepin my eyes on kentucky.

[grantcart]

33. He's not going to win 50 states - lets wait and see what the numbers are

maybe Kentucky will make us proud by making it closer than what people think.

[ncgrits]

34. You don't need to apologize. You did your part.

p.s. I love Kentucky. Went to Berea College; met my husband there. Good memories of KY.

[Naturyl]

35. I'm in Alabama. I know how you feel.

Nothing you can do except vote anyway.

[bamacrat]

51. Hey me too where are you located.

I voted in Tuscaloosa this morning.

[Bonn1997]

55. I live in Montgomery

[Bonn1997]

66. Alabama called for McCain just now

[bamacrat]

74. Not a shocker sad to say

Good to see another one of us on here. But I have to ask...Bama or Auburn.

RTR

[PaDem]

37. any chance Lunsford wins?

Not looking good early.

[iamthebandfanman]

either way its a loss

lunsford is as corrupted as they come and the cronyism that insues from him being elected will be something to see...

not that mitch is any better...

its a lose/lose for any leftie in kentucky.

[skeewee08]

38. I'm in Oklahoma

trust me I know how you feel!

[TheKentuckian]

39. We're trying

but its very uphill. We're somewhat flaky and will probably go with Obama in 2012. I feel like my personal circle is doing WAY better. Even my most wingnut friendly friend voted Barr. I don't think I know anyone personally that doesn't sit on a board that voted McCain.

[iamthebandfanman]

41. i expect him to be re-election by KY too

assuming everything goes as planned over the next 8 years.


change scares the ignorant and uneducated.

[iamthebandfanman]

42. dupe

[HughMoran]

40. My family was from Kentucky

Not exactly liberals they weren't - lol!

We expected to not take Kentucky.

[deadparrot]

43. Not your fault.

Kentucky was never even on the radar. :hi:

[No Passaran]

44. IT'S TIED WITH 7% COMING IN

[PermanentRevolution]

45. KY is looking pretty brutal right now...

Thanks for trying, though!

[TheKentuckian]

46. The only thing I hate is the state apparatus

pretty much abandoned Obama.

[Hawkeye-X]

47. Any chance of Lunsford pulling an upset over McConnell?

I want that scumbag to whine on his last days of the Senate...

[Roland99]

50. I honestly would not have thought so but, wow, it might be possible tonight!

[Parker CA]

48. CNN is showing Obama 50% / McLiar 49%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tatiana]

52. Hey, I just hope y'all kick Mitch to the curb. If you do, I'll kiss every Kentuckian I see. n/t

[Bryn]

54. Never mind what I said!

OBAMA is getting too close to McCain


Wheeeeeeee! Kentucky isn't hopeless after all! :bounce:

[Gato Moteado]

60. damn....cnn just called KY for McCorpse

:(

[DUgosh]

56. It's not over til

the fat lady sings

[TrogL]

57. Wait a minute, was Kentucky even in the cards?

Fivethirtyeight has it solidly Repug.

[BleedingHeartRN]

61. I hate to say it, but....

It's not that KY is staunchly a red state, they went for Clinton in both '92 and '96. Metro areas in Lexington and Louisville always go for the Dem. Unfortunately, the hillbillies combined with the the Catholic stronghold in N. Ky have influenced the last few elections. Also, Kentucky is a very white state, and the ugly head of racism is representative of the current numbers for McLame.

[Fire1]

62. True dat! I can't see it changing any time soon, either.

[VOX]

63. No shame in it -- the fact that Obama kept it so close is actually a very positive sign...

KY is a very Red state, and tough to budge. The fight was well fought, Roland99.

I think you'll feel better as the night progresses!

Cheers --
:toast:

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

64. My question is

how could your state be finished already? It seems, I don't know..........weird! :shrug:
By the way, you do what you can do and let the chips fall where they may! :toast:

[Roland99]

65. Eastern Time Zone part of state (Louisville and points east) close polls at 6pm

The rest closes an hour later

[stuntcat]

67. it's beautiful there though!

You've got that, no matter what!

[paparush]

68. Hey, KY Moved 3 points compared to 2004

[IsItJustMe]

69. I know Kentucy well. Bunch of relatives that live around Mayfield. The ones that are still not

fighting the Civil War are in fundamentalist churches. But hey, there are still lots of Dems that live there. Hold your head high.

[Theres-a]

70. Connecticut checking in

I did not vote for Lieberman,I assure you. I feel your pain.Can't wait to see the SMW thread after the votes are all in.Buckle up,Mr. Toad!

[Theres-a]

71. As I was saying..

I rest my case,from a lieberman thread in GD:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4373776&mesg_id=4374120

[RainDog]

72. Obama should take up the cause of the KY hemp farmers

legalize the growth of hemp to replace petroleum products. the KY economy will improve so much, the state will turn blue with happiness.

[loyalkydem]

73. Roland

I'm right there with you buddy. I'm in Louisville
