1. My Dad Is A Hard-Right Republican Registered As A Democrat In Kentucky...

...so that he can vote in the Democratic primaries and screw the Dems. He's not the only one.

[The Northerner]

2. I've read that while KY is has more registered Democrats

those Democrats are more likely to be conservative ones and many frequently vote for Repubs as do many conservadems in OK, TN, NC, AR, LA, etc.

Considering its voting patterns, I wouldn't be surprised.

6. That's not surprising at all.

There are lots of *very* conservative Democrats particularly in the South. That's why we have the Blue Dogs.

3. It's my experience being from Appalachia...

that the majority of the very poor are Democrats and seldom vote. The majority of the middle class and upwards vote Republican but they vote more often. Just generally speaking, of course.

4. Hey, Kentuck! I watched Jack Conway make Rand Paul look crazy in the debate last night.

I was overjoyed to see the replay here in Los Angeles on C-SPAN of the Kentucky Debate last night.

Jack Conway came across as a genuine guy concerned about Kentucky and her people. Rand Paul looked and sounded deranged. Paul's flapping his hands looked manic.

That debate could have only helped Jack Conway and could have only hurt Rand Paul.

Go Kentucky!

Conway can win this thing. I believe it.

5. Ron Paul is nuts.

He had no idea there was a drug problem in Eastern Kentucky when it is an epidemic, probably the worst in the nation? With that issue, and the $2000 deductible for Medicare, Conway has been making huge strides and is now competitive with Rand Paul, in my opinion.
