US SENATE: Mongiardo closing finance gap in Ky.

Keys to the Senate in...KENTUCKY?!?!?

This story from CNN doesn't tell the half of it...a recent poll showed Bunning(R) and Mongiardo(D) tied in what was supposed to be a cakewalk for Bunning. He's really cracking up. Opinion pages all over Kentucky are attacking Bunning. We've got a huge opportunity to pickup a "Red" seat for the next six years...but not if his campaign doesn't get some money...they haven't even hit 300K yet, while Bunning has 3M.

From CNN.com:

Mongiardo closing finance gap in Ky.

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (AP) -- The Senate Democrats' fund-raising committee has pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into Daniel Mongiardo's campaign in hopes of springing an upset against Sen. Jim Bunning.

Bunning, a Republican seeking a second term, still holds a commanding fund-raising advantage, and his campaign manager expressed confidence the baseball Hall of Famer will notch another victory on November 2.

Mongiardo's campaign has gotten a financial boost in recent days when it received $466,000 in "coordinated" dollars from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee -- the maximum allowed by federal law.

Yet Bunning's own behavior has opened him to attacks.

Bunning used a TelePrompTer for his opening and closing statements while appearing via satellite for his only scheduled debate with Mongiardo.

During the debate, Bunning apologized for having said months ago that Mongiardo looked like one of Saddam Hussein's sons. After the debate, Bunning claimed that Mongiardo's staff was involved in a physical altercation with Bunning's wife months ago at a political picnic. Mongiardo dismissed the allegation.

That can't be spun well, no matter how you look at it.

I've cross-posted this elsewhere ... I'd really like to know whether he's been seen, anywhere, since the debate-via-satellite early last week.

I believe that Jesse Helms is more lucid than than this Fruitcake!
:silly:

GG:smoke:

be an effective Senator. I have to believe that the good people of Kentucky will make the right choice on this one...

Bunning, McConnell, Fletcher---They're all a bunch of dumbasses, and not just because they are Republicans. My Representative, Hal Rodgers, is a Repub, but I'll vote for him every chance I get. He's done a lot of good for our district. Hopefully Mongiardo can capture Bunning's seat and get that lying douchebag Bunning out of Congress.





Dr. Dan for Senate '04!!!

we could actually win this seat, it would be the upset of the night, besides Kerry taking Virginia of course!

Just donated to Mongiardo in KY and Salazar in CO.
