It’s that time of year again, folks. As soon as January hits, I get antsy with anticipation for baseball season and, perhaps even more so, BBQ season. I hope to enjoy both this weekend. Squee!
Owen Covington at the Messenger-Inquirer reports that neither Sen. Barack Obama nor Sen. Hillary Clinton will be in Owensboro this weekend, though representatives of the campaigns are coming. Unsurprisingly, Sen. Mitch McConnell also has better things to do than hang out at the beer garden in McConnell Plaza. Of course, I don’t suppose he’s ever pretended to be a real “man of the people” or anything. (*cough* elitist *cough*)
Organizers are “working to get the other Republican candidate, Daniel Essek, to attend.” Yeah. The guy who, earlier this year, listed a Tennessee address for his campaign. The Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate who have confirmed so far are Bruce Lunsford, Kenneth Stepp, and Michael Cassaro.
Oh yeah, there’s also the KDP fundraiser tonight in Louisville at the Kentucky International Convention Center. I understand it’s quite a bargain compared to those thousand dollar dinners the GOP has.

This was my first time to attend the Ruby Laffoon event in Hopkins County and it was great. Special thanks to Hopkins County Democratic Party Chair Brenda Harris Glover and all of the Democrats in Hopkins County. I know I must have called Brenda Harris Glover 5 or 6 times the week prior to the event and she answered the phone every time and was more than accommodating. The Hopkins County Democratic Party has a jewel and that jewel is Brenda Harris Glover. I knew this gal was smart when I received a email from her and she had a .mac email account, OK some PC users are smart to but I found this girl to be exceptional.
The event included a great meal.
Four of the Democratic primary Senatorial candidates spoke at the event and Dale Emmons spoke for Bruce Lunsford, who couldn’t make it to the event. The 4 senatorial candidates were Michael Cassaro, Greg Fischer, James E. Rice and Kenneth Stepp.
Heather Ryan 1st District Congressional candidate gave a rousing speech.
Jerry Lundergan introduced Hillary Clinton and Hillary was well received, by those in attendance.
I hope to have video up of all the senatorial candidates, Heather Ryan and Jerry Lundergan introducing Hillary Clinton by Sunday evening.
I hope to have video up of Senator Hillary Clinton by Monday.
Thank you Hopkins County, I had one helluva time.

The Louisville Metro Democratic Democratic Club sponsored the first Democratic primary senatorial debate and invited all the candidates from the Louisville area to participate. Mike Cassaro and Gregg Fischer participated. Bruce Lunsford couldn’t make it to the event. Mark Hebert moderated the debate. The video, in its entirety, is below and is about 1 hr long. You can watch the video below or go here and watch segments of the video.
Kenneth Stepp another Democratic candidate for Senator was also at the event, but did not participate in the debate, because he is not from the Louisville area, but I did get a short statement from him and the video is below. All of the candidates have one thing in common, defeat Senator Mitch McConnell.
Heather Ryan Democratic Congressional candidate for Kentucky’s 1st Cogressional District was also at the event and was kind enough to give me a short interview, the video is below. To find out why Heather Ryan decided to run for Congress click here.
Once again the Louisville Metro Dems out did themselves. Many thanks to them and all their efforts.
