More than 130 million people voted yesterday, and a lot of ballots are still being counted. That is giving us an estimated 64% of voter turnout yesterday. Not only did Obama win, but America won with so many citizens now engaging in their democracy.
And here we go: More than 100 voting machines in Kenton County have been shut down on a judge’s order. Secretary of State spokesman Les Fugate said at least two machines in Kenton County weren’t properly registering straight-ticket votes. The malfunctions could affect the tightly contested state Senate race between incumbent Republican Jack Westwood of […]
This week we had another example emerge of why a V.P. Sarah Palin would be detrimental to the future of our nation. Palin told WMAL-AM that her criticism of Obama’s associations, like those with 1960s radical Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, should not be considered negative attacks. Rather, for reporters or columnists to […]
On Morning Joe Peggy Noonan says: “I am not one of those ‘you must vote’ people.” Her argument is that people should be educated before voting. She even raises the question of counting the votes of 18 year olds the same as those of 70 year old business owners. It’s no wonder she doesn’t want […]

The blogosphere has been talking for days about McCain acting like he is President when it comes to the Georgia conflict. From having press conferences about the conflict, to sending a “delegation” to the embattled country, the media has acted like McCain was just doing the job of a candidate. No more. Today’s Washington Post […]
As much as I wish he was, he is not. The media seems to not understand that though. They keep going on about “if Obama looses Kentucky”. So? There is still a race going on. Neither candidate has reached the magic number to become presumptive nominee yet. Yes Obama will be the nominee. Yes Hillary […]
Bush told the troops in Afghanistan: “I must say, I’m a little envious,” Bush said. “If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed.” “It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, […]
