Kentucky: Mitt Romney

What do you call a person that speaks at a convention with Karl Rove, Ollie North, Mitt Romney and Glenn Beck as they they smear Democrats as people who will come into your home and take away your guns? For an organization that makes its living off of smearing Democrats and electing Republicans?

In the last two days, two high-profile politicians from Massachussetts have lent their support to the candidates on either side of Kentucky's U.S. Senate race. Yesterday, it was former Gov. and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney dispatching an e-mail to supporters of incumbent U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville). Today, U.S. Sen. and former Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry sent a similar e-mail on behalf of Democratic candidate Bruce Lunsford.

Few of the rumored Vice Presidential picks the now-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.), could add to his ticket would help him much in the Commonwealth of Kentucky in November, according to a new SurveyUSA poll.

SurveyUSA compiled public opinion figures on sixteen potential ticket match-ups from May 16 and May 18 - before Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) handed Obama a 35 point defeat in Kentucky on May 20 and prior to Obama's attainment of the requisite delegates to clinch the nomination.

The data was released yesterday.

While the Republican presidential nomination is all but official for Arizona Senator John McCain, he and the only other candidate remaining in the field will be swinging through Kentucky prior to the May 20 primary.

As reported by Ryan Alessi of the Lexington Herald-Leader, McCain will appear in conjunction with the National Rifle Association's annual meeting in Louisville on May 16. McCain will speak as part of the American Values Leadership Forum on the first day of the three day affair.
