KENTUCKY'S MOST CORRUPT GOVERNOR, REPUBLICAN SLIMEBAG ERNIE FLETCHER GOING DOWN IN FLAMES
>
It looks like the last arrow in the GOP quiver of dirty tricks, the homophobic robo-call from Pat Boone warning everyone that Kentucky would turn into San Francisco if they voted for the Democrats, back-fired. With over a quarter of the votes counted in Kentucky's general election, Fletcher hasn't even been able to get over the 40% mark yet. Every media outlet in the state called the election for Democrat Steve Beshear within moments of the close of the polls. Fletcher was the first Republican governor since 1971 and his ethics problems doomed him from early in his term. The worst was the investigation into improper state hirings that led a grand jury to indict 15 people, including the governor. He pardoned everyone. Democrats also won races for Treasurer, Attorney General and State Auditor.
Recall last May when a broad coalition of labor, grassroots progressives and online activists banded together to stop the Insiders' Club from forcing Zell Miller clone Bruce Lunsford-- the corrupt and ultra-reactionary Hillary Clinton ally-- in as the Democratic nominee by getting behind moderate Steve Beshear. Without that primary victory over the reactionary Lunsford there would only have been a choice between horrible and horrendous for Kentucky voters today. Although the Clinton Machine would have been happy. That's why primaries are so important-- and that's why Jane and John and Digby and I have been begging you to not allow Nancy "Off the Table" Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel and Steny Hoyer to force the intolerably corrupt corporate shill Al Wynn down the throats of Maryland voters in his primary against progressive heroine Donna Edwards. We are just
UPDATE: THINGS ARE ALSO LOOKING UP IN NEW JERSEY AND VIRGINIA
I mentioned a couple days ago that the key in New Jersey was twofold: increasing the Democrats' hold on the state Senate, which was accomplished with a net of one seat (two wins and one loss), and preparing for the political demise of Congressman Frank LoBiondo by taking out his two local clones, State Senators Nicholas Asselta and Sonny McCullough, both of whom were defeated tonight.
In Virginia, the key was to take hold of the state Senate, also accomplished. Even sweeter is that Congressman Tom Davis' wife was defeated in her race, something which augers very poorly for the rubber stamp congressman for a district that has been turning bluer and bluer, especially now that Jane and Kobe live there. Aside from Jeannemarie Devolites Davis, another incumbent Republican senator soon to be out of work is Nick Rerras and Democrat George Barker looks like he's beating incumbent wingnut Jay O'Brien, Jr.
POOR MISS McCONNELL...
He's getting blame-- or at least part of the blame-- for his party crashing yesterday and Democrats have already launched a campaign to remind Kentucky voters that a chief obstructionist is even worse than a run of the mill rubber stamp.

Even in Kentucky nobody listens to Pat Boone anymore. Good riddance to
Ernie Fletcher, and good luck to the new KY Attorney General in investigating and prosecuting the fraudulent robocalls that tried to scare the people into voting for the Repubs. Some of the calls falsely claimed to be from the KY gay rights coalition saying that they were happy that Beshear supports the "homosexual agenda"...
I was a little disappointed in Mississippi, reelecting Haley Barbour. But when I found out that the "Democratic" challenger was a far-right religious loony-toon, I felt better.
Those people SHOULD lose, and the Democratic operatives who get them nominated should all be fired and kicked out of the party.
All of the ernie fletcher opererators--some of whom testified agaist ol'rockin earn, I mean former govenor fletcher-- such as the son of a general, swift-boat sailin head of the transportation dept for the state who gave away crown vics to friends, and since 2006 is in hiding in Nebraska(a hideout for dirty republicn operatives?) doing dirty work for GOVENOR.DAVE Heinemann of Nebraska, who ranks close to ERNIE FLETCHER as AMERICA's MOSTY CORRUPT GOVENOR--stay tuned for that story-- as nebraska repubs like kentucky repubs, implode like their vaunted football programs--and pat boone singing the fight song cant save the day...
Govenor Ernie Fletcher along with alot of other govenor 'whatisname' slimeball politicians like the "Napoleon of Nebrsaka" Heinemann(how's that for a great name? Assman?)wrote the 'corruption' book until Rod Blagoravich got on the phone!!!
