Poll Shocker: Lally Tied with Yarmuth (KY-3)

Lally for Congress ^ | Todd Lally

[Republican Wildcat]

A few - and you’re right, they should help, but for some reason this race is not currently on the radar as being competitive - but it should be. Anne Northup ousted an incumbent Democrat in this district in a year where Clinton carried the district handily (although McConnell also carried it handily at the same time), and was able to hold it for a decade. Certainly not a district where a Republican cannot win and in an environment like we have now, is one that should definitely be targeted.

A Kentucky Ping.

...for those interested. :D

I think a good canpaign slogan for Lally would be, "Where's the bridge, John?"

That's an excellent point, although I don't think it should be his main campaign theme. Democrat incompetence and Democrat corruption is on display.

That pus Chandler ultimately reclaimed it for the rats after Fletcher became Governor, right before we got the other seat back after Lucas quit in favor of Nick Clooney. Some deranged freeper from the district insisted to me that Clooney would not only win but win easily because old people liked his sister and remembered when he used be on tv in the area and they wouldn’t mind at all that every Hollywood liberal gave him a maximum donation.

Nick Clooney was a strong candidate and could have won. It took an excellent GOP candidate in Geoff Davis running a good, smart campaign to win and hold the seat the next term.

Think we have a shot at Raul Grijalva this year? ;p

I thought Clooney was doomed. This was based mostly on my youthful hubris but I still think his candidacy was overblown.

For some reason, black and Mexican-American candidates (as well as white candidates from North Dakota) can sport a mustache without suffering any political ramifications.

You're right, of course. It should not be the main thrust of his campaign. But it should be an issue.

Oh, this is a good year to be a Republican in a swing district. There is soooo much ammo to shoot at the Demoncrats. Thanks, Obama!
