There is a race in the Democratic party for the nomination to run for Jim Bunning's U.S. senate seat. Bunning gave it up about a week ago when he couldn't raise any money for his reelection. Blame that on Mitch McConnell.

The Dems have a decent chance to take that seat, even in Kentucky, which didn't vote for Obama. The primary race for the nomination is between Dan Mongiardo, currently the lt. gov. Mongiardo is pretty darn conservative.

His opponent is Jack Conway, the attorney general of Kentucky. They had a recent split when Mongiardo wouldn't even support the pathetic "cap and trade bill" which came out of the U.S. house. And believe it - it wasn't because it was too weak.

Conway is supporting it. But at the Fancy Farm picnic this last weekend, Conway referred to himself as a "son of a bitch" when it came to defending himself. Wow, it's stirred up a hornet's nest, and Conway today sort of apologized. I guess he felt he should with all of the news coverage.

But it's so early, I don't believe that in the long run it will hurt him. I think Mongiardo, who lost to Bunning, although closely, 6 years ago, has the stigma of loser to overcome, which is pretty big. Conway as a fresh face has an advantage. And maybe having a mean son of a bitch going against the republicans is just what we need. I don't know. I'm definitely not endorsing Conway. I'm just saying that I don't think that this SOB incident is going to be the last say in this race.
