KY has long sent liberals to the Senate, Wendell Ford, John Sherman Cooper, Thruston Morton, Earle Clements, and Alben Barkley. The outgoing senator, Mr. Bunning, is an exception to the KY pattersn. People there believe that government “bound to be helpful”.
...not lateley it hasn’t and it will be surprising if any liberals are moved from Kentucky. I’d love to se a Jesse Helms type of candidate there, but I guess not.
