The latest polls show Lunsford dead even with him.Mith is nervous and so he should be. He has not done anything for us in Kentucky.He has spent his time raising money for the Senate Republicans.He doesn't care about kids, working people or the state as a whole. With only the stroke of the straight ticket democratic vote we can rid the country of Bush, McConnell and McConnell's wife, Secretary of Labor, Elaine Chao, who has been a do nothing herself.

When the Democrats promise "free stuff," all the Republicans seem to be able to do is put up candidates who say, "Well, we'll give you free stuff, too, but not as much as the dems." No wonder they lose; they've forgotten their principles - while their opponents never lose sight of their socialist goals. The Republicans won't be a majority party unless they have charismatic candidates who vigorously support lower taxes, reduced regulation, smaller government, free-market capitalism, limited government, and a strong (but non-interventionist) defense.
