Nick, 69,
was against the war in Iraq and
supports some gun-control measures,

but, Crowley says, "he is hardly the flaming, Ted Kennedy type."

Pat Crowley is the Ky Democratic party press agent in the Republican north. And he writes for the traditionally Republican of the two local dailies. Clooney will be given all the help the local press can provide in disquising his myopic liberalism. In addition Nick Clooney is a fine , decent, appealing, instantly recognised and liked local gentleman. If this were not also a presidential election year , I believe he would likely win. But Bush is extremely popular in this district and I really hope and believe that his coat tails will see the Republican nominee through. Boone County is key because it provides truly landslide margins to the Pubies and Davis is from Boone county, Clooney is a rural squire without a significant geographical/ population home base. I think the COC will be for Davis this time, and I blame their defection to Lucas in 96 for the interuption of 40 years of Republican representation in the 4th. I feel pretty good about the prospects of defeating Clooney.
