Anti Iraq War Nick Clonney up in the polls in a conservative KY district ..what gives??
My husband grew up in that district and my in-laws still live there. Clooneys were raised in that neck of the woods - and of course - Nick Clooney was a celebrity in his own right - in the Cincy area. He was a news anchor, variety show host in the 60's or early 70's, etc.
Yes - I do fear that he will win this election easily.
George was in the Louisville area (near where I live) over this past weekend raising money for his dad's campaign. I think I recall reading that it was about $200,000.
My brother knew George "way back when" - when they were about 8 years old - and in the same Cub Scout Den. My brother said that he remembers George being a jerk back then, too. :))
Right now the local voters are responding to Clooney's celebrity. When the campaign gets underway, that is likely to change.
