McConnell's Endorsement

I suppose it was only a matter of time but, given Jim DeMint's public endorsement of Rand Paul yesterday, it was bound to be soon. I finally heard it this morning on the radio on my way to work. What the heck am I talking about? Well, Mitch McConnell's official endorsement of Trey Grayson, of course! There is a radio commercial airing now in this area with McConnell talking about how he rarely endorses a candidate in the primary, but... (We all know what that's about, don't we?)

Trey Grayson is a nice guy. Seriously. He's been a good Attorney General for Kentucky so far. So, I'm sure that's a nail that Grayson's campaign coffin could have done without. The "establisment GOP" has made itself publicly known now and, unfortunately for Trey, it is not the endorsement of choice right now.

Sorry, Trey, but you're on the wrong side of political history this time. It's time to ditch the establisment in DC and try again another time. Hey, here's an idea -- become a Constitutional Conservative (whatever party you choose) and run for McConnell's Senate seat! I could certainly back you then.

You do realize that McConnell endorsed Grayson before DeMint endorsed Paul.

Also, Grayson is Secretary of State, not Attorney General.

Oops - just checked the dates and I stand corrected. I read the DeMint endorsement before I heard the McConnell radio ad. I'm no better than the average voter on my perception of those events. Thanks for the correction.

Wow - not my day for getting anything right, I suppose. Although... you know what's coming... I guess I mistook Grayson for the Democrat Conway. Honest mistake? ;-)

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste
