The latest SurveyUSA data indicate that John Yarmuth leads Republican opponent Todd Lally 47 to 45. Maybe some day the Kentucky Democratic Party will wake up? Not holding my breath. [The 'Ville Voice]

What? Bob Layton still isn’t properly attributing my material? It’s been several days. Surely that’s unintentional, right? And has nothing to do with my criticism of Jack Conway? UPDATE: Mysteriously, rather than give proper credit, Layton decided to remove the entire post from his website. [Blue Bluegrass]
Haha, Ben Chandler’s first attack [...]

Hey, Bob, Layton, when you swipe something from me, you need to say so or ask permission. Particularly when it’s an image to which I edited and own the copyright. You folks can be pissy that I don’t shill for Democrats 24/7, but don’t break the law. I’m sure it was unintentional. [...]

Remember when Bowling Green City Commissioner Catherine Hamilton got caught giving guys blowjobs in the park? It was maybe one of the best political sexytime stories of the entire year. The Board of Ethics says she didn’t violate the city’s code. If she had blown him inside city property, however, that’d be [...]

“At this point, no cause of action or [...]

Here’s Ben Chandler’s latest:

Guess that means he’s right on siding with credit card companies, against women, against common sense.
Don’t worry, though. You’ll never hear Andy Barr hit Chandler on anything that matters. He’s apparently incapable of doing anything rational.

Haha, god. Ed Martin is now saying that he was played by Preston Bates. As you read yesterday (see comments, too), that’s not exactly the case.
Here’s what Martin, the Libertarian running against John Yarmuth and Todd Lally, had to say in a statement:
Ed Martin, Libertarian candidate for the 3rd District Congressional seat currently [...]

Not long ago, I noticed a comment on the Facebook page for Libertarian congressional candidate Ed Martin. Martin, you already know, is running against Democratic incumbent John Yarmuth in Kentucky’s 3rd District.

Nothing too special, nothing interesting there, right? Right. Until you realize that Preston Bates is a Louisville-Jefferson County Democratic Party legislative [...]
