(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Republican John McCain could carry the Bluegrass State in this year’s United States presidential election, according to a poll by Research 2000. 56 per cent of respondents in Kentucky would vote for the Arizona senator, while 35 per cent would back Democratic Illinois senator Barack Obama.
In a poll by Rasmussen Reports, McCain holds a nine-point lead over Obama.
In 2004, Republican George W. Bush carried Kentucky’s eight electoral votes, with 60 per cent of all cast ballots. The Bluegrass State has picked the eventual White House dweller in every presidential election since 1964.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The U.S. presidential election is scheduled for Nov. 4.

Other than being employed at the goetta factory, what do people in Kentucky actually do for “work?”

Oil and natural gas. Lots of oil and natural gas in KY. My grandfather drilled over 150 wells half a century ago that were still producing 2 years ago... (that's that last time I checked).
Yeah, I considered that under farming, with the other things like tobacco, hogs, etc., but you’re right that it’s a special category.
The other things is that health care is always a big employer everywhere.
consulting in what? I’m almost afraid to ask.
