This is off the subject of your post, but are you a Kentucky resident? If so, I posted this the other night in response to this post from lastlib:


Has anybody seen any polling in KY Senate race since RBG passed?

Curious to know if there has been any movement toward McGrath.

My seething hatred for McTurdle wants to see his defeat almost as much as I want tRump's.

My response:

Some friends of mine and I were having this very conversation. Unfortunately, here's my take - No matter how much money, how much phone banking, how much knocking on doors, how much this, and how much that -is being done for Amy's campaign, I don't think it matters. And facts don't matter either because here are some (and you'd think they matter but apparently they don't)....

Kentucky is:

#44th in Healthcare
#44th in Education
#45th in Fiscal Stability
#47th in jobs

Kentucky demographics are:

87% White
8% Black
5% Other

I quite possibility despise Mitch McConnell more than I've EVER despised anyone in my entire life. I wish more than I could possibly express that I think McConnel could lose this race but I don't. Having said that, if the Dems take back the Senate, McConnel will lose the power in which he has abused in ways I couldn't have imagined...So that's something...
