Can someone explain to me how a politician who refused to say whether she voted for Obama and vowed in her campaign ads to “take aim” at Obamacare was considered a “rising Democratic star”?
I agree…she lost that race because of it too. Now when Bevin squeals about Pro Publica being a leftist organization…would someone please point him in this direction
Media term, but she did hold onto statewide political office when Kentucky went full repub. She is not supposed to be running again.
I think you’re confusing her with Joe Manchin because she never made such an ad. As far as not wanting to admit she voted for Obama, there was no good answer for her on that one in KY. Just none. Had she admitted to voting for him, it would’ve helped her in Louisville and Lexington and hurt her everywhere else. Had she said she didn’t, she’d have been damaged in Lou/Lex and may have picked up a few votes out in the counties.
Nope. A lot of people outside of KY believe that, but I know of almost no one here who agrees.
Ok, I’ll give you that. After putting out a really good introductory video, she seemed to stumble all over herself. I was in Lexington this weekend (my niece got married…she lives there…they all hate Bevin). Her intro ad was with her 2 grandmothers…was really a good ad
So, who should take on the turtle in 2020?
Oops! You’re absolutely right, that was Manchin.
She was considered competitive with McConnell in the earlier part of 2014. If that doesn’t make you a rising star, what does? It didn’t work out, sadly. And this news is disappointing too. But just imagine…
She’s not running for office so big deal. I see Mitch’s greasy fat fingers on this though.
Mueller may take him on. Let’s see what he continues to uncover. Mitch is dirty, there is no doubt. Mitch had the chance to expose the Russians and chose not to…but why?
I’m still not convinced he’ll run, but this guy is threatening to run against him and probably has a better chance of winning than any Democrat in KY.
Why do stupid sh*t?
If she really did have her political people do this then that is the end of her career. Democrats won’t stomach it and Republicans won’t let it go.
Her career ended when her dad got indicted.
This is like breaking into a jewelry store to steal the little price tags attached to items for sale.
Just. Dumb.
Funny you should say that…I mentioned the same thing 2 weeks ago…was wondering if I was on to something
…and if there is one thing people in KY care about…its basketball (I witnessed that first hand in Lexington last weekend)
Yeah that’s basically my question here, too. Why do this? Ethics aside, it just seems so stupid. So little to be gained, so obvious the downside if exposed. They didn’t stop for one second to ask themselves how this would look to the public? That’s political malpractice, if nothing else.
