Brigadier Sockface posted:What are the downsides of Grimes? Lack of celebrity recognition? Secretary of State is a good stepping stone but straight to Senate may be harder without better name recognition. That'd be my speculation anyways. She or Judd seriously needs to get rid of Andy Barr.

POTUShead posted:How do you mean? Judd is an alumnus of the University of Kentucky whose claim to fame is its basketball program. Judd has always been a huge supporter of UK athletics and to this day is seen in the student section at home games. Attacks on her residency are going to fall flat because everyone in the state sees her in Lexington on TV regularly. Andy Barr is the house representative for Lexington (UK) and the surrounding area. He defeated two term blue dog democrat Ben Chandler (son of a two time governor and senator). Barr's first vote in congress was against Sandy relief.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:I'm nit sure i trust anyone's speculation on that race without current Kentucky polling data or at least current Kentucky residency. I'm not sure having Lexington residency helps either. McConnell doesn't seem to be bringing any money here, and he's a cardinal too! Bruce Lunsford was an idiotic choice, I talked to die hard democrats that had actually had worked with him that we're telling me not to vote for him ever for anything.

The Landstander posted:No doubt part of the logic was the (reasonable) expectation that the Republicans would overplay their hand if/when they viciously attacked her; it also seemed like the Democrats were/are becoming a bit more aggressive on a handful of issues (mostly social ones), so she could play into that strategy. And The Daily Caller nudity thing was the level of respectability in journalism that I've come to expect from Mr. Carlson. This would work better if George Clooney was running instead of Ashley Judd.

What is the university supposed to do when someone brings a big bag of money and just wants you put a silly word in something's name? You can't just decline money! Incidentally I work near Todd's new office and have never seen him. Must be a nice gig.

Isn't possession of that a felony? I just assumed that congressmen would follow the law so it must have been a mountain lion (which everyone in rural areas calls lions anyways).

Mimetic posted:So I take it these new Voter ID laws require a state-issued photo ID? In Kentucky you have to provide identification, but a credit card (among other things) counts as ID. Kentucky is surprisingly "liberal" or at least not batshit insane on a number of bureaucratic things like this. The KY voter id requirement is one of "Personal acquaintance of precinct officer, Driver’s license, Social Security card, credit card, or another form of ID containing both picture and signature."

Did you know today was constitution day? I sure didn't. Thanks for informing me and everyone on the University of Kentucky's campus Mitch and thanks for the free apple pie! Grimes, you've got a little over a year to catch up on the free pie race for students. FYI pizza is worth more than terrible food service apple pie! ps: I saw the sign up sheet for team mitch. It was empty.
