That Crafty Ukrainian Fruman Donated To Congressman Andy Barr's 2018 Campaign.

Kentucky’s motto of “Unbridled Spirit” has taken on a whole new meaning under the tutelage of Moscow Mitch, Rand Paul, and now Republican Congressman Andy Barr (KY-6th).  Seems that Congressman Barr received $2,400 dollars in campaign contributions from Igor Misha Fruman, one of Rudy Giuliani’s Ukrainian associates. U.S. Rep. Andy Barr,...

Possibly Some Good News for Progressives in Kentucky Senate Race.

Progressives in Kentucky may have something to cheer about with regards to next year’s U.S. Senate race against Moscow Mitch:  Matt Jones has formed an exploratory committee. Kentucky Sports Radio host Matt Jones is forming an exploratory committee for a potential U.S. Senate bid against Mitch McConnell in 2020. Jones, a...

About the Evil Snapping Turtle Called McConnell…

For those not in Kentucky, I will give you a lay of the land when it comes to Senator Mitch McConnell and this despicable Trump government shutdown.  Most of us on Daily Kos agree that McConnell is all about power and protecting Trump to keep Republicans in power.  And McConnell...

Looks More Like Rural Tribalism Hurt Democrats in Redstates in 2018.

As with many, I’ve been trying to look at some numbers now of several disappointing Democratic races in several redstates to make some sense of what happened.  It’s taken some time to actually look at the numbers because I got my hopes up and the let down has been painful. ...

I do not know what to say, except I was dead wrong on two U.S. Senate Races:  IN and TN.  I thought for sure that Donnelly would win because, well, he threw people like me under a bus and ran the bus back over me.  I do not know if...

In the important KY-6th Congressional District where Amy McGrath is running: Lines were out the door at many locations and around buildings at some; waits of 30 minutes to an hour were common. “Lines out of the gym to vote this morning,” posted Jay Blanton on Facebook. “I’ve lived in this...

I’m not sure how many Daily Kossacks are in the same boat as myself when it comes to this midterm election:  no U.S. Senate race here, no Governor’s race, my Congressman is progressive Democrat John Yarmuth, and my state senator and house rep are Democrats.  In other words, in one...

I don’t believe this myself, but Nate Silver’s 538 site has moved the KY-6th Congressional Race to “Likely R” because of the latest Sienna College/NYT poll.  Barr is up by 3.9 percentage points according to Nate Silver, but keep this in mind:  it is based upon only 287 “likely voters.”...

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan to Campaign For Congressman Andy Barr in KY-6th.

Depending upon how you calculate it, the KY-6th is R+9 to +10.5 and went for Trump by 15 percentage points in 2016.  Yet, here is Speaker of the House Paul Ryan coming in to campaign for Republican Congressman Andy Barr.  He is going to the Toyota plant in Georgetown, KY. ...

Lexington Herald-Leader Newspaper Endorses Amy McGrath for KY-6th Congressional District.

Not anything to add to this endorsement of Amy McGrath by the Lexington Herald-Leader newspaper. As a swing-district candidate, McGrath ascends to the national stage at an important moment. Nobody needs a reminder of the toxic and potentially dangerous political and social divides in America, nor an update on how...

Idle Thoughts on Democrat Amy McGrath and KY-6th Congressional Race.

Why is Democrat Amy McGrath competitive with incumbent Republican Congressman Andy Barr in the KY-6th Congressional Race?  Here is my non-expert political analysis.  Note: I do not live in the 6th.  I live in Louisville, which is a different animal from the 6th. The next largest city in KY is...

KY-6th Congressional Race Update: Amy McGrath Has More Money Than Republican Congressman Andy Barr.

As noted by Howard Fineman on MTP today, Trump making time to campaign for Ted Cruz in Texas — something that screams more about Cruz’s character and that Beto O’Rourke must be doing something right — highlights the dire political straits that Trump is careening towards.  According to Fineman, Trump is...

Things Must Be Getting Serious in Flipping KY-6th Congressional District from Red to Blue.

I’m not in the Lexington area of KY — I live in Louisville in KY-3rd, but it looks like there is something going on in the KY-6th Congressional District race between Republican incumbent Andy Barr and Democratic challenger Amy McGrath.  First up, there are the multiple opening salvos from Congressman Barr:...

Republicans were responding to a Facebook post McGrath made...
