This past weekend, the University of Kentucky College Democrats made the trek to Roanoke, Virginia to campaign for Creigh Deeds (Candidate for Governor).
We left Lexington, KY around 5pm on Friday and arrived in Roanoke around midnight. We got put up by some great people in the community, with some amazing homes. Here’s the view from [...]
I’m sitting here watching CNN’s coverage of the DNC tonight and I have to say that all I really want to do is scream at the TV for the analysts to shut up! Last night they complained about not much happening and said that the Democrats wasted the night because they didn’t really grab [...]
Joe blogged earlier about the Senate poll that just came out showing Bruce Lunsford with a 49-44 lead in the race for Kentucky’s US Senate seat. This is amazing news, and cause for some cautious optimism. I learned a hard lesson in 2004, when Tony Miller (our disastrous nominee for the 3rd District Congressional Seat) [...]
This year has been a contentious one for Democrats, who have seen several races get personal. We have had a tough Presidential primary, which may not be over tomorrow, a tough race fighting over who is best to Ditch Mitch, and a competitive race out in Kentucky’s 2nd Congressional District. As a result, I will [...]
As you all know, the Kentucky primary is coming up. It is officially a week from today, and as such, I believe that makes today the last chance to contact your County Clerk’s office to request an absentee ballot. So… make sure you do so if you will not be able to vote on the [...]
So this weekend I was in Boston/Waltham/Cambridge visiting some friends up there and I was pleasantly surprised to meet a girl who has never lived in Kentucky but is very interested in Kentucky politics. Her family is most recently from Texas and she goes to school at Brandeis, but she can name every single Senator [...]
Tonight: the Lexington Legends take on the Greenville Drive at Applebees Park! (Although the Legends are a farm team for th Houston ***holes, I’m rooting for them…) If you want to join UK College Democrats, as we watch the baseball starts of tomorrow, you can either meet us at the Student Center parking lot (by [...]
Backstory: I got a call on Sunday from Jerry Lundergan, the former chair of the KDP, telling me that Chelsea Clinton was coming to UK. This was a total and utter shock to me, and the past few days have included a lot of awesome work from the College Democrats and Student Government to [...]
The United States will elect a new President this year. Thank goodness for that. However, the picture of who will be nominated from the Democratic Party got considerably murkier last night, when Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary. Personally, I think this is alright–there won’t be a coronation, and the primary season will go [...]
(hat-tip to BlueGrassRoots, where I first found out about this development)
This coming year could be very interesting. We obviously have the presidential race to think about, the presidential primaries, various US Senate races, state senate races, competitive house races, etc. If we’re lucky, we’ll even see some competitive races here in the Bluegrass, especially against [...]
