Wednesday Update Dept. Hillary Squeaks By Edition

May 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Did you know? There was a primary in Indiana and North Carolina last night. Hillary Clinton beat that mean, black elitist Barack Obama by something like two percentage points. So much for that tie-breaker in Indiana, eh? Now we can count on non-stop campaigning in Kentucky, Jonathan Hurst on the teevee 24/7, Jerry Lundergan on the teevee 24/7, Ben Chandler on the teevee 24/7. OMG. It’ll never end even though it’s over. [MSNBC, Wonkette]

The Herald-Leader is so broke and falling apart (but it’s still a million years better than the Gannett monster in Louisville) that it’s offering buyout packages to employees. [Hebert]

Johnny Ray Turner and Eric Shame Hamilton face each other on May 20. Turner has a major vote-buying scandal under his belt and Hamilton is the poster boy for slumlord or whatever. Can you imagine that race? How on earth do you pick who you want to vote for? [H-L]

The Sam Beverage-Marc Williams-DLZ thing is still going on. Really. A hearing officer recommended Williams be found not guilty and everyone is wetting themselves to get that recommendation overturned. The Fletcher administration will last forever, apparently. [C-J]

Ugh. Poor choices of words plague Kentuckians in power more often than not, right? Well, Greg Stumbo, in a discussion about supporting people we (he/us/Kentuckians) know, said, “We’re a very clannish state in a lot of ways.” We’re just glad Alessi didn’t use the word that starts with a ‘k’ in Stumbo’s quote. Clannish. Really? [PolWatchers]

If you missed the debate between Second Congressional District Democrats David Boswell and Reid Haire, go watch it. Keep a bucket nearby for vomiting purposes and remember: it could be worse. [KET]
