My deepest sympathy to the good people that live in Kentucky

[AndrewP]

You unfortunately have a Grade A Douchebag as your Senator.

[tridim]

1. I have a feeling he might be shunned by his own party.

He's going in full teabagger.

[harun]

4. If he does what he says he is going to do he will be Independant after about a month.

GOP doesn't tolerate dissent.

[Dappleganger]

5. I hope all those teabaggers give it the republicans straight

up the arse on a daily basis. Those people are completely NUTS.

This may help 2012 be a lock for the Dems if that's the case.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

10. Yep, he's their problem child now. nt

[Blue_Tires]

38. Doubtful....Like his old man, he talks a good game, but

he'll fall right in line when the whip is cracked...I have no doubt he'll make a few 'symbolic' votes to warm a few libertarian cackles (on issues already decided, of course). But like his old man, at the end of the day there is still an (R) after his name, and both know where their bread is buttered.

Massey Energy is going to get the senator they paid for; make no mistake...All of these folks thinking he's going to be some wildcard loose-cannon libertarian purist forging some brave third way have drank the tea...

[niyad]

2. may you NOT have to say the same about CO

[DesertFlower]

3. i'm in arizona and i'm

sure we'll still be stuck with McCain.

[and-justice-for-all]

6. kentucky is fucked...nt

[alfredo]

7. He's as fucking nuts as Bunning, so the status quo has been

maintained.

[Tom_Foolery]

11. Bingo...

A new nut to join the old nut...Mitch McConnell.

[alfredo]

13. Mitch has high negatives, I think he will be vulnerable in 2012.

We need to frame him as not just part of the problem but one of the sources of our problems.

[Tom_Foolery]

17. His day will come...

And we can only hope that a strong Democrat comes forward to challenge him in 2012. I won't hold my breath, though.

[alfredo]

19. Chandler or Jerry Abramson of Louisville.

[Tom_Foolery]

25. Could be.

[alfredo]

26. Abramson is going for Lt Governor.

[Tom_Foolery]

29. Yeah, I know...

But I think Beshear will have a fight on his hands with the Williams/Farmer ticket. And will Chandler want to give up his house seat to take a chance against McConnell and pull an Ellsworth?

[alfredo]

32. That's one way to get Williams out of the State Senate.

[Tom_Foolery]

34. Good point...

But he could become Governor Williams. And that IS really scary!!!

[Liberal_Dog]

24. Mitch The Bitch Isn't Up Again Until 2014

Will Ky ever find its way out of the darkness?

[alfredo]

27. Damn, that is too long

[Overseas]

8. I agree. Jack Conway is so much more intelligent and experienced.

Really sad to see Rand declared the winner and give his speech so early.

[CherokeeDem]

9. I live in Lexington, KY

I told my dad today that how horrendously embarrassing it was to be able to say that Mitch McConnell was the better of our two senators. And I despise McConnell. CRAP...

What the hell is wrong with people that they would elect someone like this as a senator? I don't get...I don't even think this can be attributed to the 'redneck' jokes about Kentucky. This is simply absurd.

[AndrewP]

12. It's extremely absurd

and I truly feel bad for the good people that are in Kentucky. I know there are many people there who are embarassed right now.

[Tom_Foolery]

16. Oh, I've been embarrassed for years.

[alfredo]

14. Conway won my precinct in Lexington. I worked the

Brandywine precinct in the south east out tates creek.

And Don Pratt did better there than I expected. 80+ year old women were voting for him. He got 35 votes out of the 199 that voted.

We now have an openly gay mayor!

[alfredo]

21. I was pleased with the outcome of the Council at large race,

The PVA race, and our new Mayor, Two Jims in a row. How about that.

Oh yeah, Congrats to Steve Kay.

Sue Gorton will make a fine Vice Mayor.

Ben, yeah Ben did what we expected. He's going to be around for a long time. The Chandler name i still golden around here.

BTW, photos from Thriller Saturday night. Zombies galore.

15. Wouldn't That Be TWO Grade A Douchebags as your Senators ???

:shrug:

[AndrewP]

20. You are 100% correct

I was tunnel visioned on Paul for a minute there.

31. hey now...

douchebags at least have a sort of positive purpose. ;)

[beam me up scottie]

35. I've never understood mens' irrational hatred (fear?) of douchebags.

Is their ju-ju powerful enough to be used as a weapon?

Should I place several around the outside of the bathroom door so that I can finally take a long bath in peace?

Maybe chase the Mister around the house with one until he agrees to take me to the symphony?

:)

[dana_b]

37. LOL

best laugh i've had today!!

[JVS]

18. My sympathy for the good people, but my scorn for the idiots who voted for that douche

[nonconformist]

22. Thanks. I'm both embarressed and depressed. nt

[glowing]

23. Florida is a bg loss too... GOTV was crap this year..

[Occam Bandage]

28. I don't have a whole lot of sympathy.

The entire country gets to share in his douchebagginess equally, and we didn't even vote for him.

[beam me up scottie]

33. I just moved out of Kentucky!

...and into Tennessee.

Oh yeah, I'm gloating now... :banghead:

I'm sorry for all of us who live in states where we have nothing to celebrate and we've known it all along.

Thanks for remembering that there are good people living down here.

[JI7]

36. he isn't any worse than the one he is replacing
