Hi Cyrena:
As far as I can tell by informally talking with my coworkers, family, and friends, Sen. Obama has quite a bit of support among Kentucky Democrats. And when people are in favor of Sen. Clinton, its because they hope she can revitalize the economy like her husband did in the Roaring 90s, rather than her stances on issues like the war or health care. So, Id say that its pretty even. Sen. Clinton may have a small lead because her campaign has held several events across the state in recent weeks, but that margin could erode when Sen. Obama starts campaigning here more heavily.

Does this mean that Kentuckians are as impressed with Obama as a choice for our next president?
Just curious about the feel of the folks in your state.

Someone from Kentucky needs to have his finger off the voting button.

As a Kentuckian, I am appalled by Geoff Daviss comments. I assure you that many of us here in the Bluegrass State are quite literate and want nothing to do with an idiot like Davis. I dont live in his district, but if I did, I wouldnt vote for him in a million years. As far as I can tell, he hasnt done much since hes been in office, and he panders to Bushs every whim. Actually, that seems like the case with most of our federal representatives
If I can say one positive thing about Davis, its that hes smart enough to see how the upcoming election is shaping up and that hes trying to save face before he permanently burns what might become a very valuable bridge.

Good thought TDoff.
But, this might be the best that can possibly come from him. Remember, there’s the Kentucky angle…
Report thisAt least he recognized that something in the nature of a recognition of how he FU’ed needed to be addressed.

That Ofay MoFo Geoff Davis thinks an apology is enough?
He ought to get down on his whitey knees and kiss the next president’s black a**, or his ear marks for billion-dollar study programs to determine whether Kentuckians can be taught to be literate are liable to be line-item vetoed for the next few years.
