I was certain this had to be a mistake and that Republicans were over sampled, but the same sample shows Kerry leading 49-44 over Bush, so that is not the case. Wow! I never thought I'd see Northup win in a landslide, but it looks like things are heading in that direction.

"49-44 over Bush"

In Kentucky!?!?

[Republican Wildcat]

Louisville.

[counterpunch]

What do you find so amazing about a Republican on her way to her 5th congressional term? And what is so encouraging about Kerry leading Bush by 5 points in Kentucky?

[babydubya1981]

Kerry is up in Kentucky??

[Republican Wildcat]

You must not follow congressional elections very closely or read things before you post responses.

[Republican Wildcat]

He is up in Louisville.

[babydubya1981]

Oh, you scared me there for a minute! I think we are all jittery lately.

I didn't read the poll, but I think that he's saying that in Louisville, Kerry is beating Bush, not in the state.

[counterpunch]

I gathered that, but it's Kentucky. This elitist billionaire internationalist shouldn't be beating Bush anywhere in the state.
The fact that he is just goes to show what a poor campaign the Bush team has run.

Seriously, I am in Louisville, Northup is cleaning up better than ever, I have a large sign of hers on my lawn, my neighborhood is chock full of her and Bushs campaign signs, and the numbers of Kerry leading are way off that much I know!!

[babydubya1981]

Thanks for the inside scoop!

[kingattax]

kerry with his horse face would be ahead in louisville, makes

sense

[HitmanLV]

It's got to be in Nethercutt's congressional district, that's all.

[Lancey Howard]

LOL!

[maine-iac7]

kerry with his horse face would be ahead in louisville, makes sense ***************

thanks for the laugh!

[karmichit]

Im sure somone can come up with a good pic of Mr.Ed with Kerrys likeness, of course Mr.Ed may sue for defemation.

[skinkinthegrass]

PING! ..thanks for the heads-up, I hope GWB can keep his lead in KY. ...Louisville maybe a aberration. :( Pitno endorsed Bubba in '96)

[Bluegrass Conservative]

Louisville tends to be a bit more liberal than the rest of the state. No shock that Kerry is up there.

The Northup margin is great! She deserves it after working so hard.

Where else do you find a "top-targeted" Republican getting the endorsement of the state's largest newspaper, the state's largest African-American newspaper, and from her former opponent who barely lost (Chris Gorman, former KY AG, lost to her in '98)? A 10 point or greater victory this year will solidify Northup. The Democrats have nothing left to throw at her, save Mayor Jerry Abramson . . . who won't run.
