President Bush will stop in Louisville on Sept. 5, Jefferson County Judge-Executive Rebecca Jackson has confirmed.

A spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Anne Northup, R-3rd District, had said last week that Bush was expected to attend a fund-raiser on the congresswoman's behalf, but she declined to say when.

Big 'ole Kentucky BUMP! Let's hear it for Dubya and Anne!!!

Bump for Bush but have to watch Annie N. Her anti gun position has me looking for a different Pubbie to push. Agreed, Annie is far in front of any Dim in the field but watch her on the firearms issues.

First and foremost, I will have to vote for Anne Northup because her only opposition is Jack Conway, who is very much pro-abortion, pro-gay, pro-tax-and-spend. I voted for Anne in '96, '98, and 2000; and there's not even a third-party candidate on the ballot, if one even wanted to go that way.

Now, that being said, Anne's voting record is a mixed bag for sure. She's always been very impressively pro-life and pro-business, but here are her recent ratings (out of 100 percentile) from certain conservative and liberal groups, as documented at Project Vote Smart:

2001 National Taxpayers Union 62 %
1999 National Taxpayers Union 58 %
2001 Gun Owners of America 20 %
1999 Gun Owners of America 43 %
2000 NRA letter grade - C
2000 Republican Liberty Caucus 54 %
2000 American Conservative Union 72 %
1999 American Conservative Union 68 %

2001 AIDS Action Council 60 %
2001 Arab American Institute 67 %
2000 Children's Defense Fund 60 %
1999 Children's Defense Fund 60 %
