KY-03 gave 49% to Bush in 2004. Pubbie
Anne Northup held this seat until 2006, when she lost by about two points. (FYI: She missed
many weeks of campaigning during a dismal GOP year due to her son's death.) In her 2008 rematch a larger turnout in a slightly Dem leaning district probably won't help her against freshman incumbent John Yarmouth. Northup also ran against Gov. Fletcher in the 2007 GOP primary, undoubtedly bruising some feelings. But you couldn't tell by the fundraising. On 30 June this race was very competitive financially. Yarmouth had a cool million in the bank, with just over $130K in debt. Northup had no debt and $819K on hand.
