Kentucky Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo (D) didn’t quite pull a “Happy” Chandler when he told the Lexington Herald-Leader he is “not taking a position” in the U.S. Senate race between fellow Democrat Jack Conway and Tea Party-backed Republican Rand Paul.

Rand Paul: Dangerous

by: RDemocrat

Tue May 18, 2010 at 17:20:49 PM EDT

As many know I stayed neutral in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. Basically I like both guys in that race that have a real chance to win and I have been watching with amusement the drama on the Republican side as Conway and Mongiardo duke it out. I have no desire to attack either one. However, now that race is being sorted out as we speak, and Rand Paul seemingly will win on the Republican side. Now the amusement is over and I must look at Paul as a candidate I must say whomever between Conway and Mongiardo emerges we must work hard to elect them because Rand Paul represents an ideology that quite simply put is dangerous.

by: Hillbilly

Sat May 15, 2010 at 20:28:24 PM EDT

Yesterday, Friday May 14, 2010, several people told me they had received robo calls from what they thought was the Jack Conway campaign. However the  Conway campaign is saying it's not from them.

Ryan Alessi cn|2
Allison Haley, spokeswoman for Conway, said the Conway campaign wasn’t aware of the call until alerted by reporters.
“I can categorically deny that that’s ours,” she said. “It’s not a claim we’re even making.”
Kim Geveden said the Mongiardo campaign plans to file a complaint about the call to the Federal Election Commission and will include the campaign of Jack Conway, Mongiardo’s chief rival in the Democratic primary, in the complaint.

The Robo Call Audio is below:

FRANKFORT --- Lt.

In addition, the complaint charges Conway’s approval of higher rates for Atmos Energy financially benefits Conway, since Atmos Energy is a business partner of Kinder Morgan, a Texas natural gas company, in which Conway has invested millions.

Bunning's Idiocy Heats Up Kentucky Senate Race

by: RDemocrat

Fri Mar 05, 2010 at 16:01:26 PM EST

The Kentucky Senate race was getting quite boring. Leave it to eccentric, Looney Tune Jim Bunning to heat things up. One would like to think that the outgoing Senator who was shunned by the McConnell machine because he is a can or two short of a six pack decided to shake up this race but then you realize that well, Bunning is a can or two short of a six pack. However, his callous, uncaring and hypocritical "stand" earlier this week against the nation's unemployed has indeed ignited the Kentucky Senate race, which quite frankly was becoming a yawner.

Daniel Mongiardo, Calls Out Jim Bunning and Rand Paul, In Lexington, Kentucky Video And Photos

by: Hillbilly

Tue Mar 02, 2010 at 22:51:23 PM EST

March 2, 2010 Lexington, Kentucky
Democratic candidate for the US Senate Daniel Mongiardo, standing in front of senator Jim Bunning's Lexington, Kentucky's office, let Jim Bunning and Rand Paul know exactly how he feels about the unemployment extension block.
Rand Paul supporters were there to support Senator Jim Bunning. Both the Mongiardo and the Bunning supporters were very vocal.
I didn't do a head count, but it appeared to me there was an equal number of people there for both sides of this issue. Click here to view Mongiardo's video. We also shot video of the Rand Paul and Jim Bunning supporters, click here to see that video. Click here to view photos of the event. Joe Sonka over at Barefoot and Progressive was also there, click here to see his post and video. His video is also after the fold.

I even got in the mix.

Democratic Senate Primaries Promise Fireworks

by: RDemocrat

Mon Nov 23, 2009 at 17:41:55 PM EST

With all the hoopla made by Republican looney-tunes who demand even nuttier candidates than they already have one expects a very lively primary season. However, it is not only the Republicans who are promising to have a lively primary season. In a couple of states at least including my own of Kentucky primaries are firing up and getting ugly. Then of course, there is always the chance of new primaries if Democrats stab their Progressive bases in the back.

Fired Up And Ready To Go? - Really?

by: Hillbilly

Thu Nov 05, 2009 at 02:23:53 AM EST

Fired up and ready to go? Only if you're a Tea Bagger or a Right Wing Coservative.
Gotta hand it to these folks, they are fired up and ready to go and the Progressive Democrats seem to be lazy, ready to sit on their rear ends and whine. Virginia, New Jersey and Maine are proof positive of lackadaisical, lazy, carefree Progressive Democratic efforts.

The Latest Alleged Daniel Mongiardo Audio Recordings

by: Hillbilly

Mon Oct 12, 2009 at 16:17:28 PM EDT

I questioned the previous Mongiardo audios, but this audio appears to be real. If it is, then Daniel Mongiardo may have a real problem.
Reckon Jack Conway, the Kentucky Attorney General will help Daniel Mongiardo find out who is doing the audio recordings or does Daniel Mongiardo already know?

Opinion: The Daniel Mongiardo Recordings Are Fake!

by: Hillbilly

Mon Oct 05, 2009 at 02:06:22 AM EDT

Before I begin let me say this. I'm not taking sides in the Democratic Primary, but I am taking sides with right and wrong.

After listening to Daniel Mongiardo many times and shooting video of him on many occasions, I've come to the conclusion the voice in the recordings, here and here are not Daniel Mongiardo's.

Let me make my case. If you disagree there's a place to at the end of this post to express your disagreement.
