Kentucky: Daniel Mongiardo

Enjoy:
"The Rasmussen poll varies widely from two recent independent polls that show Daniel Mongiardo as the strongest Democrat against Republicans Trey Grayson or Rand Paul. No matter how you slice it, the General Election will be very competitive. The fundamental question for Democratic voters is do they want a Kentucky Democrat like Daniel Mongairdo who reflects their values and who will stand up and fight for Kentucky's working families or a silver spoon Democrat who represents out-of-state interests who neither share Kentucky's values or our priorities? We are confident which one Kentucky voters will choose."

The poll varies from the previous polls because those were before your campaign imploded with the "Fuck it all" video, Kim.

You know, I think I've been pretty hard on Jack Conway. Compared his Q1 fundraising to W declaring "Mission Accomplished"? Check. Called his press operation a one-trick pony? Check. Ripped him up and down for a weak response to an opponent's contrived reaction to his use of profanity? Check.

The list goes on; the truth is, though, that Conway, for all of his mistakes, has got nothing on Daniel Mongiardo in the "sucking at life" department. He hasn't had to for a couple of months, either, but I'm glad to see that period is coming to an end.

Dan Mongiardo’s fake puritanical outrage over Attorney General Jack Conway’s recent, shocking use of profanity at the Fancy Farm picnic brought back memories for me of a Democratic State Senate Caucus fundraiser that I and several other UK College Democrats attended some years ago. As you will remember, this was two offices ago for Dan Mongiardo, back when he was still a lowly state senator who had recently lost the last race for US Senate against Jim Bunning, and as such he was expected to allow the rest of the caucus and the attendees at the fundraiser to bask in the glow of his political fame.

By ROGER ALFORD - Associated Press Writer FRANKFORT — Rand Paul, the son of 2008 presidential candidate Ron Paul, ended months of speculation Wednesday by saying he will run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated next year by fellow Republican Jim Bunning. The Bowling Green ophthalmologist told The Associated Press he is entering the race and plans to run as a candidate with “outsider” credentials. Paul had been considering a campaign even before the 77-year-old Bunning announced last week that he intends to retire when his second term ends. Two other Republicans — Secretary of State Trey Grayson and western Kentucky businessman Bill Johnson — have already announced they’re running for Bunning’s seat.
