Lunsford’s New Ad is All Endorsements

May 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Bruce Lunsford’s latest ad in the race for U.S. Senate is positive, touting all of his endorsements. But give it five minutes and the Fischer trolls will be complaining that endorsements don’t matter or that Lunsford didn’t actually receive endorsements. Speaking of endorsements, we hear Greg Fischer’s campaign is pressuring legislators under the control of [...]

Greg Fischer: Burning Down the Campaign Barn

May 2nd, 2008 · 9 Comments

How does this possibly play out positively for U.S. Senate candidate Greg Fischer? Like we reported yesterday, four of the most prominent and powerful Democrats in Kentucky told Fischer to shut his trap. U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, State Auditor Crit Luallen, Attorney General Jack Conway and Lt. Governor Dan Mongiardo all told him to stick [...]

It’s Wednesday. Political Fur is Flying Edition.

April 30th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Bruce Lunsford tells the truth about Greg Fischer’s big name supporters. Finally. It’s hilariously true. Christie & Owsley will probably try to raise a million or two for McConnell to get political revenge. “It kind of centers around four or five families and a few progressives, and the rest of the state, especially outside of [...]

Beshear? Neutral? You Be the Judge.

April 22nd, 2008 · 3 Comments

What was that about Governor Steve Beshear being neutral in the U.S. Senate primary? Oh, right. Owsley Brown II– a man responsible for raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for George W. Bush and Mitch McConnell– says Steve Beshear is remaining neutral in the race. Take a look at the video from yesterday and hit [...]

As you’ve no doubt heard, Andrew Horne will be endorsing Bruce Lunsford’s campaign for U.S. Senate today at 10:30 A.M. We were reluctant to say anything about it yesterday, but Andrew confirmed it with us via email. We have a lot to say about the endorsement, but will keep it brief for now. If Andrew [...]

Senate Debate – Some Drama, Photos, Zzzz

March 13th, 2008 · 22 Comments

BORING! Told ya so. Was difficult to stay awake. We had to walk around to prevent rigor mortis. And, we admit, to see if anyone would give us the stink eye. This is just going to be another random smattering of crap about last night. No particular order or importance. Just thoughts as they come [...]

Greg Fischer & Self-Funding

January 14th, 2008 · 6 Comments

Has someone recently explained the millionaires’ rule to Greg Fischer and the young people at the KDP? Did they just figure out that Fischer would be a waste? Forgot to mention this last week, but, the Millionaires’ Rule (Millionaires’ Amendment) is kind of a big deal in this Senate race. And the only person it [...]

Rumor: Greg Fischer in the Race

December 27th, 2007 · 2 Comments

We’ve heard from two sources who attended Owsley & Christy-backed Greg Fischer’s Christmas party that he announced he’ll run for U.S. Senate and drop several million of his own dollars. Guess he didn’t realize dropping that kind of news at a Christmas party would generate gossip. Or maybe he did. One thing is certain: having [...]

Senate 08 Hopefuls & Awkward Commentary

December 8th, 2007 · 7 Comments

Ryan Alessi has a great story today about potential senate contenders. A good read for a quick what-for in Democratic senatorial politics today. But we have to take issue with some of it. Fischer didn’t return a call to his office, but his friend Matthew Barzun, a Louisville businessman and Democratic activist, said Fischer “is [...]

Monday: 36 days til the ads stop

Unlikely pair? Kentucky should pay attention. The Herald-Leader delves into the business partnership of Bruce Lunsford and Ed Hart and their movie making successes. From the Sundance Film Festival to Kentucky, these guys are creating an empire. Politics aside? We should be proud. These guys smell an opportunity to change perceptions of the Bluegrass state.
