Could I possibly feel better about being a Kentuckian again?

If she takes Kentucky, she will win in a massive landslide!

OMG...t'rump losing the turtle's home state would taste ever so delicious!

But this still is jaw dropping

As delicious as this would be, it would be a stretch. But, wow, can you imagine if that actually happens?!

Up until now I figured that our vote for Hillary would be symbolic and that we were really hoping that our votes down ballot might do some good. Now we've got an even better reason to get out and vote. Do you suppose we could get some of our now deceased relatives to come with us? (It is hard to find any illegal immigrants around here that are allowed to vote without registering.)

People in KY are getting over the coal, coal, coal talk. Honestly, coal jobs left in the 80's and 90's and most people moved on. Now, Mitch and Paul refuse to help the union miners. Congress passed a law preserving their pensions and healthcare in the late 40's. but our two Senators refuse to help without also helping the non-union miners equally. Problem is, most of them had no pension plan or healthcare while they had coal mining jobs and Congress never passed a law addressing them.

The guy running against Paul, Jim Gray, has ran a good campaign and has said that we need to move on. Paul says he is wanting to bring coal jobs back, but won't say how. Several power producers here have built gas-fired generating units. Are they going to make them shut those down and go back to coal? A power producer will make 32%-38% more profit by using natural gas as the fuel as compared to coal.

I'd like to think it is a toss up, but I highly doubt it. Trump by 8 in KY and Paul wins.

Jim Gray is our first openly gay candidate. Unfortunately that matters to rural voters. He's popular in Lexington! And Louisville is also really progressive.

Ive seen more Hillary signs than Trump in Louisville.
Not a lot of either

voted early (absentee) straight dem ticket. Would love it if KY went blue. Most recently I'm from Atlanta, and would love to see it blue, too. Originally I'm from Oklahoma, but I won't push my luck.

I have made fun of our cousins to the south many times. I now vow that I will never do that again if the state goes HRC
