Aren't we blessed to get to see and hear all the McConnell and Lunsford TV ads for the U.S. senate seat. I think both have had some really crappy ads, and some good ones. I'm still pissed off that the mainstream media won't cover McConnell's totally illegal abuse of not for profits that he has gotten funding for and then turned around and strong armed them into doing campaign favors for McConnell. I mean, it's just happened too much to be a coincidence. And it isn't fair to the many not for profits that lean toward the left that are petrified of getting involved in electoral politics, but could have a lot to say about McConnell if they could speak out.

McConnell must be pretty desperate when it runs an ad saying that says that Lunsford is from Chicago. Lunsford response ad is pretty effective, saying he was raised on a Kentucky farm, served as Commerce Secretary, blah blah blah. But when he says he has grown a business from 3 employees to tens of thousands, I have to question what that is? He never says what business he is involved in, and how he grew so amazingly. That leaves a big gap for me, anyway. Did he make his money in hazardous waste, or wind energy? I guess probably neither, but what was it? The fact that you don't tell us makes me suspicious. And why shouldn't I be? Lunsford is almost a republican himself. But all we want him to do is put his desk on the democratic side of the senate aisle. And while I think Lunsford is a long shot, if McCain doesn't show up to the debate, and the republicans remain split on the "bailout" and the economy continues to tank, the bigger the chance for a Democratic landslide that would carry darkhorses and increase, perhaps to veto proof, majorities in both houses. Wow, that could mean real change, well, within limits I know, because we are talking Democrats here, but change nonetheless!
