Everyone in Frankfort is rallying for Hillary Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton. And by everyone we mean everyone. Especially lawmakers.
From John Cheves at PolWatchers:
Lawmakers skip hearing, disclosure bill stalls
A Senate bill that would require greater disclosure from groups promoting or opposing constitutional amendments may have died Tuesday because not enough House members attended a necessary committee hearing.
The sponsor of Senate Bill 148, Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, waited in the audience for about 20 minutes into the scheduled 8:30 a.m. hearing of the House Committee on Elections, Constitutional Amendments and Intergovernmental Affairs. But most of the panel’s 12 members failed to arrive, and Kentucky State Police officers could not quickly locate them in the Capitol Annex.
Chairman Darryl Owens, D-Louisville, then canceled the meeting, the last planned for the 2008 session. While it’s possible a special meeting could be called later, Thayer’s bill is important and complicated enough to need serious study, more than a special meeting might be able to offer, Owens said.
Good luck getting any news that’s not about Hillary today.

All this fuss, when everyone already knows Obama is the nominee.

considering hillary won’t disclose her taxes, this is quite fitting

The Democrats wont have a nominee until one of them has 2025 delegates committed. Neither is anywhere close.

Obama is the nominee unless the Democrats want war in Denver. And by this, I mean that if the SD’s don’t select who the voters selected via pledged delegates, it’s “Hello, President McCain!”

Steve –
I’d like to remind you that Hillary is far outperforming Obama in Kentucky.
(There’s life outside of Louisville, you know)

Yes, Jake, and we know how influential Kentucky is in national politics. :)
