A nice summary. I think it shows how "red" Kentucky is. All GOP other than the two southerners, Carter and Clinton.
Oh, I think we know!!  |

This also shows how accurate Kentuckians are in picking a President, since they were spot on each year in who won. That might concern some if they are in support of Obama. |

With this disaster of a governor we have right now, I doubt Kentucky will go Democrat nationally...I don't even know who voted for this governor since no one admits it now. |

The problem is the Democratic primaries pick leftists like Gore and Kerry rather than centerists/ Southern Democrats like Edwards. Republican primaries rarly pick the far right candidate like a Forbes or Buchanan.
Obama's main problem in KY isn't that he's another Jesse Jackson, it's that he's another Howard Dean. |

That is a very good point. If you read the political thread, Obama supporters think it's because we are a bunch of uneducated, toothless, redneck, racist hillbillies...lol. |

I think that has a lot to do with the exit polls where people ADMITTED that race was an issue. |

Race is not an issue for me, but I wonder how many people won't admit that it is. |
