Key victories for Democrats in Kentucky and Virginia in Tuesday’s off-year elections have emboldened party members to look to traditionally red regions of the political map as potential areas for pickups next year.
Party officials say that the Kentucky results will prompt a new push to oust Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in 2008 and that the Democratic takeover of the state Senate in Virginia could put several GOP-held House seats in play.
The twin victories suggest that even elements of the solidly Republican South could be increasingly competitive heading into next year’s presidential election - though Republican Gov. Haley Barbour easily won reelection in Mississippi, largely on the strength of his much-lauded leadership in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
“Overall, it was a good night for Democrats,” said political analyst Jennifer Duffy of the Cook Political Report.
“It seals the belief that Virginia is now less of a Southern state than a mid-Atlantic state. It also bodes well for the Democrats in the 2008 presidential race. In Kentucky, Democrats clearly have momentum, though McConnell will be a tough target in 2008.”
In Kentucky, Steve Beshear, a former lieutenant governor and state attorney general, trounced scandal-plagued Republican Gov. Ernie Fletcher, 59 percent to 41 percent.
Fletcher’s loss was widely expected, as his administration has been under investigation for years over hiring practices for state jobs.
Democrats picked up several other statewide offices in Kentucky on Tuesday as well, though it remains unclear whether such gains could translate into a serious challenge against McConnell, father of the Bluegrass State’s modern Republican Party and one of the best-funded incumbents.
At the end of the third quarter, he banked $6.8 million in his campaign account, near the top of all members of Congress.
Kentucky has been a swing state in recent presidential elections, going for the Bush-Cheney ticket in 2000 and 2004 but narrowly supporting Bill Clinton and Al Gore in 1992 and 1996.
In a late October poll conducted for the Lexington Herald-Leader, McConnell polled under 50 percent against several prospective Democratic rivals, including outgoing Attorney General Greg Stumbo and state Auditor Crit Luallen. Luallen won decisively on Tuesday. McConnell’s campaign released its own internal numbers in response, showing him with a 57 percent approval rating statewide.
Matt Miller, spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said the gubernatorial election is a harbinger of a tough race for McConnell next year.
“Mitch McConnell inserted himself in this race, declared Fletcher one of the finest men he’s ever met, and I think Kentucky voters will be asked if they agree with that. It’s clear they don’t,” Miller said.
McConnell brushed off the results at a news conference Wednesday, saying they were not indicative of a political sea change in the state.
“This was a referendum on one person,” said McConnell spokeswoman Jennifer Morris.
Many Democrats would love to knock off McConnell as revenge for the defeat of Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle in South Dakota in 2004.
A more inviting target, however, may be Kentucky’s other senator, Republican Jim Bunning, whose term expires in 2011.
Bunning, 76, has been criticized for an uneven performance in office.
In 2004, he faced a surprisingly stiff challenge from state Sen. Dan Mongiardo, who won a bit of political redemption Tuesday when he was elected lieutenant governor on Beshear’s ticket.

Well, SCHIP is one of the reason that they took a hit again and it will be along with stem cell research another reason why they will take a hit in 2008. Of course we can''t forget the first and most important reason Iraq. But hey the decider''s have spoken at least until 2008.
Because like her husband no one voted for who won twice by the majority and has an approval rating in the 60 percent range.
No I don''t think I am arrogant and I know I am not stupid.
They have lied, spent and scared themselves into being a joke. Only americans are not laughing. They are voting.
Can''t seem to understand that the rep party is sinking itself. All the things he/she crows about are the very things that are sinking the party into history. One does not have to be a genuis to realize that if 75% of the American people favor an idea (say S-Chips) and the rep party makes sure that it is defeated, then stand up and crow about defeating it, that same party is going to be bye-bye the next time we vote.
The republicans are just being plain stupid.

That Woodstock Museum was part of Senator Hillary Clinton"s policy to bring tourism and JOBS to the state she was elected to represent.
I see no great crime in that. She was furthering the interests of the people who elected her.
You"re gonna need a much bigger bong than that in November 2008.
It"s the sort of thing Republicans are always bragging about.
Go to whitehouse.gov and you can see Bush taking personal credit for all the jobs that were created during his administration.
Good just the beginning wait until 08 lets get all these crooks out of office the GOP is rancid at the very core a collection of sick anti social wack jobs.
Ohio continued to wipe throw the bums out of office and look how much that State has improved, same will happen in Kentucky next they will rid themselves of that obstruction bush lap poodle McConnel and Ohio can get rid of BONER.

LOL.. The above statement is a perfect example as to why you ignorant self indulgent NEOCONs will loose power. You and you ideas are out of touch and frankly out of intelligent thought. I can''t wait to here your bunch cry like babies after your NEOCON heros get booted from Washington.
NOT...Probably another bozo who lies about military service. Unless he was smoking dope with Benedict Arnold Kerry.
Or thought that the spit on his uniform, courtesy of Code Pink''s grandmamma was champipple toasting his return.
No self-respecting vet would support either the non-serving cowards and traitors of the moveon.org bought and sold dems - or the neo-fascists former Buchananite and Dukeys clinging to the senile Ron Paul''s coattails.
Must be that these pathetic brain dead bozos sure miss their own Uncle Adolf. They could join him, the moveon.org champipple swiggers - and it could be arranged.
Very soon.
Have fun, bozos. Maybe you could ask Teddy about waterboarding and prefrontal lobotomies. Seems he does know quite a thing or two about these things.

You NEOCONs are all alike. You have one message....DEMS are bad... They will ruin the country... They have no plan or vision... Well numbnuts this nation has been torn apart while you jerks have been in power. The economy is getting worse everyday your beloved idiot GW stays in power. Our deficit is out of control due to a war of lies, of which you morons support. Health Care is practically non-existant since your NEOCON henchmen have destroyed any opposition to privatized healtcare. You and your kind are the ones that have ruined America. You have had your hands on the steering wheel and the country has been driven over a cliff. Based on your track record I cant believe any Vets are dumb enough to listen to your cr*p anymore.

No, I think Ron is the new hero of the KKK. I don''t know why, you might want to ask one of his supporters when they are too busy spamming.
Which angers you most about George W Bush?
a) His crazy fascist plans that failed in Italy Germany and Russia.
b) That his administration is too corrupt and stupid to even carry them out.
Senator Clinton''s political camp are blocking the release of presidential papers about discussions in the White House in the 1990s concerning the Whitewater investigation. Bruce Lindsey, a top adviser to former President Bill Clinton, issued a lengthy statement on Friday evening saying that Mr. Clinton had asked him that records related to communications with Senator Clinton be withheld, and that Mr. Clinton had asked him not to release of any presidential documents. Mrs. Clinton, in an interview with Radio Iowa on Saturday, said she did not know what the papers would reveal, but she would nevertheless refuse to release them. "I think it''s like people think we have boxes of records in our basement and why don''t I just go and get them and hand them over," she said. "And you know my husband has never blocked a record ever. He has been the most forthcoming of all presidents." In interviews recently, lawyers and experts on presidential papers said it was unusual for a President to want a close review of documents that might have political dimensions. "Senator Clinton doesn''t have the power to override federal privacy Laws; they protect all the other people who wrote or participated in conversations," said Thomas Blanton, director of the National Security Archive. Senator Barack Obama is urging that she expedite the release of documents as quickly as possible.

All of the trade deals and world government organizations, which all of the presidential candidates support (except Ron Paul), such as the ICC, NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA, are all a major threat to our nation''s sovereignty. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites. The ICC wants to try our soldiers as war criminals. Both the WTO and CAFTA could force Americans to get a prescription to take herbs and vitamins. The WTO has forced Congress to change our laws to meet their needs, and not our own. If anything, the WTO makes trade relations worse by giving foreign competitors a new way to attack U.S. jobs. The NAFTA superhighway, being built by a Spanish company, is just one part of a plan to erase our borders and create the North American Union, a single nation State like the EU, out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new, unelected bureaucracy and money system. Forget about controlling immigration under the NAU scheme. There won''t be any borders anymore, or a free America. Our limited, constitutional government will be gone forever. Let''s not forget the UN either. It wants to impose a direct Carbon Tax on us. Ron Paul successfully fought this move in Congress last year, but if we are going to stop ongoing attempts of this world government body to rule over us, we need someone in the White House who knows how to say "No." We must withdraw from any organizations or treaty that infringes upon our nation''s sovereignty.
Sadly, even though Clinton voted for the war in Iraq, and a host of Laws aimed at removing civil liberties, Democrats are so blinded by her cult of personality that I predict they will overwhelmingly vote to put her crime family back into office. While I''ve made some progress in educating Liberals as to the phony staged consensus of the left-right paradigm, the fact remains that a majority of Democrats still see the White House as some kind of political Super Bowl, where the success of their "team" is the be all and end all - to the expense of America as a whole. The Punch and Judy show theater that was the "troop surge" debate in the Senate characterizes Hillary''s role in hoodwinking Americans perfectly. The debate is framed as not whether the U.S. should get out of the Middle-East altogether, but the relative minutia of whether to feed thousands of more troops into the meat grinder or not. A Clinton presidency will mean more war, more dead Americans, and a further desecration of the tattered shreds of what''s left of our Constitution. Clinton is the ultimate global elitist and represents the Democrats supposed base: the poor and downtrodden, about as much as Lindsay Lohan represents grace and dignity. I''m sure she informed the likes of David Rockefeller and Queen Beatrix as to her presidential aspirations during her last visit to attend the Bilderberger conference. Vote for a REAL AMERICAN who fights against one world government. Vote for Ron Paul.
With the full support of Senators Clinton, Obama and McCain, President Bush recently signed into Law the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, which, according to Senator Leahy (VT), will actually "encourage the President to declare Martial Law." It does so by revising the Insurrection Act, a Laws which limits the President''s ability to deploy troops within the United States. The Insurrection Act has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act, helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic Law enforcement. With one cloaked swipe of his pen, Bush has now undone all of those prohibitions. The John Warner Defense Authorization Act, which was signed by the President in an unpublicized ceremony, allows the President to declare a "public emergency," suspend Congress; The Constitution; and to take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of your Governor or local authorities, in order to "suppress public disorder." President Bush seized this unprecedented power on the very same day that he signed the equally odious Military Commissions Act. The two Laws compliment one another. One allows for torture and detention abroad of those who dissent and are stripped of their citizenship, while the other seeks to enforce acquiescence at home by allowing the President to order the military onto our streets in a domestic Law enforcement role, which is already being done. Vote for Liberty. Vote for Ron Paul.
My fellow Americans need to open their eyes to the fact that our republic, along with The Constitution upon which it was founded, is being flushed-down the toilet by our nations'' bought and paid for politicians and media. While the Oligarchs warn and incite fear in the sheeple about the prospect of terrorism, they at the same time leave our borders wide open, and then conduct illegal wars overseas that do nothing but incite the terrorism which their Orwellian Laws like the Patriot Act and the John Warner Defense Authorization Act pretend to protect us from. Wake up America! It''s not about protecting you from terrorism, or Global Warming, or any of that other fear-mongering garbage the sold-out, mainstream media feeds you 24/7. It''s about feeding the bankers and the military industrial complex, and facilitating the global elite''s ability to ratchet-down control over the American people, placing us into a total control grid where they can surveille, track and control everywhere we go and everything we do. It''s the groundwork for tyranny. It''s the New World Order plan of Bush, Clinton, Edwards, McCain, Giuliani, et.al., being executed quite beautifully. You''re a frog in a pot. In order to cook a frog, you don''t throw him into a pot of boiling water. If you do, he''ll resist and jump-out. What you do instead is, you turn the heat-up REAL SLOW, and by the time the water is boiling he won''t be able to jump out anymore, because it''s too late--he''s already doomed.
The Clinton campaign has admitted to planting questions in Iowa. They have confirmed that a campaign staffer approached a student to ask Sen. Clinton a question about global warming during a campaign stop at a biodiesel plant in Newton, Iowa, on Nov. 6. The story was first reported by Patrick Caldwell, a junior at Grinnell College and the features editor of The Scarlet and Black college newspaper. He reported that student Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff was approached by the campaign to ask a question. She told the reporter that "they wanted a question from a college student." She also said that she "noted that staffers prompted Clinton to call on her and another who had been approached before the event, although Clinton used her discretion to select questions and called on people who had not been prepped beforehand. Some of the questions asked were confusing and clearly off-message." Clinton Campaign spokesperson Mo Elleithee tells ABC News that "on this occasion a member of our staff did discuss a possible question about Sen. Clinton''s Global Warming plan at a forum. This is not standard policy and will not be repeated again." The staffer still remains with the Clinton campaign and they would not reveal his or her name. The campaign did not comment on whether this is the only time they have planted questions among audience members about Global Warming.
When I consider the claim that we should give-up our civil liberties in order to protect ourselves from terrorism, or that we should pay a global Carbon Tax administered and enforced by the U.N. (one world government), because mankind is to blame for global warming, two quotes come to mind:
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
- Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propagandist
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself, and those who would exploit our fear for power and their own personal, selfish, cynical gain."
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
Earth is heating up lately, but so are other planets in our solar system. It''s scientific fact. The sun''s increased activity is the common thread which links all of these warming events. Fluctuations in solar activity affects the climate on Earth and other planets, and always will. The majority of scientists agree that the Sun causes an uptick in global temperatures on Earth. Mans impact on the planet is greatly exaggerated. All 6 billion people on Earth would fit into an area the size of New England.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke appeared before the Congressional Joint Economic Committee Member, Congressman Ron Paul on November 8th, and had to face some tough criticism from Paul concerning the fact that the Fed has been increasing the money supply while at the same time refusing to raise the Prime Interest Rate in order to curb deflation. Paul accused the Federal Reserve of "robbery," telling Bernanke, "There''s a dollar crisis out there and people''s money is being stolen," Paul said. "People who have saved, they''re being robbed. I mean, if you have a devaluation of the dollar at 10 percent, people have been robbed of 10 percent." Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke attempted to dispel that notion by explaining, "If somebody has their wealth in dollars and they''re going to buy consumer goods in dollars, then the only effect it has on their buying power is that it makes imported goods more expensive." Paul disagreed, reminding Bernanke, "Yeah, but not if you''re elderly and you have your wealth in CDs. Their cost of living is going-up no matter what your CPI says," adding finally, "Their cost of living is going up, and they''re hurting. And that''s why the people of this country are very upset."
Ron Paul''s campaign has become a clearinghouse for voters like me who feel unrepresented by the Fascisct (globalist Republicans) and their Socialist comrades in crime (globalist Democrats). They''re actually one and the same. It''s all a phony, poorly staged left-right paradigm. Most people, though, are too distracted, dumbed-down, or outright brainwashed by mainstream media, which endlessly regurgitates scientifically-crafted streams of information aimed at keeping their eyes closed to the realities of the world, that they fail to recognize this. Those currently in power, and those being groomed to take [major] political power, are preselected by a "global elite," and whomever is eventually elected, will ultimately, serve their agenda, and not ours. People on the right and those on the left have many differences. Maybe irreconcilable ones. But they have a lot of common beliefs too, and our numbers and anger are of a considerable magnitude. No matter what happens in 2008, I personally believe Ron Paul will influence the national conversation about how much power our government should have over our lives; how much liberty we should give up for security; and whether we should continue moving along our current path towards an all powerful one world government. These are issues that, frankly, no one else is talking about as seriously and sincerely as Ron Paul. What''s for sure is that his growing army of supporters like me will be a force to be reckoned with in 2008.
Ron Paul represents a different Republican Party from the one that Iraq, deficits and corruption have soured the country on. It''s ironic that other GOP candidates are scared to death of his message, because his positions are more conservative than theirs. Being anti-war; pro-life; pro civil liberties; pro Second Amendment; pro States rights; pro secure borders; and in favor of a sound economics policy IS TOTALLY CONSERVATIVE. The Republican party has "lost its way," Paul said during a recent GOP debate. Like the limited federal government principles espoused by Dwight D. Eisenhower, his school of Republicanism stands for a certain idea of The Constitution that much of the power asserted by modern Presidents has been usurped from Congress, and that much of the power asserted by Congress has been usurped from the States. Though Paul acknowledges flaws in both The Constitution (it included slavery) and The Bill of Rights (it doesn''t go far enough), he still thinks a comprehensive array of positions can be drawn therefrom: against gun control; for the sovereignty of States; and against foreign-policy adventures like the ones currently being played-out in the Mid-East. After ten terms of service as a U.S. Congressman, Ron Paul has demonstrated a consistent track record of adherance to The Constitution unmatched by anyone in either party. Ron Paul does not represent your Father''s school of political thought. He represents your Founding Fathers.
What we need is a President who will show us the way. Not the old way. Not the same way, but a NEW way. Think about this for a minute. What if we pulled all of our troops out of South Korea? They''ve been there for 50+ years. What if we quit worrying about Iran, but instead, realized that its having a nuclear weapon will not mean the end of the world? What if we pulled all of our troops out of the Middle-East, and brought them all home? What if we realistically addressed the National Debt, and paid attention to REALLY DOING SOMETHING about stopping illegal immigration? These are the ideas of Presidential candidate, Ron Paul. He''s a ten term Congressman and a physician who has delivered over 4,000 babies. He''s an intellectual who''s published four books, three of which are devoted entirely to sound economics and one to foreign policy. He was raised on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania as a pious Lutheran, but now he attends a Baptist church. Paul is given to mulling things over morally. Whenever he recollects the helicopter pilots he treated as an Air Force Flight Surgeon (Captain) during the Vietnam War, a war which he now says was "totally unnecessary and illegal," he laments, "They were gung-ho. I''ve often thought about how many of those people never came back." Candidates with the high level of personal integrity and proven track record of adherence to The Constitution, Congressman Paul has always demonstrated only come around once in a lifetime, if we''re lucky.
All of the trade deals and world government organizations, which all of the presidential candidates support (except Ron Paul), such as the ICC, NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA, are all a major threat to our nation''s sovereignty. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites. The ICC wants to try our soldiers as war criminals. Both the WTO and CAFTA could force Americans to get a prescription to take herbs and vitamins. The WTO has forced Congress to change our laws to meet their needs, and not our own. If anything, the WTO makes trade relations worse by giving foreign competitors a new way to attack U.S. jobs. The NAFTA superhighway, being built by a Spanish company, is just one part of a plan to erase our borders and create the North American Union, a single nation State like the EU, out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new, unelected bureaucracy and money system. Forget about controlling immigration under the NAU scheme. There won''t be any borders anymore, or a free America. Our limited, constitutional government will be gone forever.

The Bilderberg Group is a secretive gathering of global power brokers, which includes Hillary Clinton, and a virtual who''s who of other folks whose names you will recognize (Search Wikipedia: "Bilderberg Attendees"), has inspired layers of ridicule. In recent times, the deeds laid at the group''s doorstep have included the creation of the EU, the Iraq war, and the group''s current efforts to create a North American Union, which will erase U.S. borders and sovereignty. Their agenda: economic and political domination; one world government; and world population reduction. After it was leaked that a speech by John Edwards at their meeting in Italy, was one reason for his selection as John Kerry''s vice-presidential running mate in 2000, people began to ask, "Are the Bilderbergers now shaping the worldwide political scene?" Over 130 of the world''s most powerful monarchs, politicians and business leaders attend the annual, invitation-only gatherings in order to to discuss and orchestrate public policy worldwide. The hotels involved are closed-off to other guests and reporters. Guards are placed around the perimeter, and attendees promise to keep quiet about what they hear and say. "They do not have to sign anything, but they understand that they do not talk," said Maja Banck-Polderman, the group''s Secretary. Tony Gosling, a British reporter who has followed the group says, "I think that a forum where so many rich and powerful people meet should be open to public scrutiny."

This is not standard policy and will not be repeated again." The staffer still remains with the Clinton campaign, but they would not reveal the person''s name. The Clinton campaign refused to comment on whether this was the only time they have planted questions among audience members about the issue of global warming.

See all 46 CommentsWhen I consider the claim that we should give-up our civil liberties in order to protect ourselves from terrorism, or that we should pay a global Carbon Tax administered and enforced by the U.N. (one world government), because mankind is somehow to blame for global warming, two quotes come to mind:
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
- Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propagandist
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself, and those who would exploit our fear for power and their own personal, selfish, cynical gain."
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
Earth is heating up lately, but so are other planets in our solar system. It''s scientific fact. The sun''s increased activity is the common thread which links all of these warming events. Fluctuations in solar activity effect the climate on Earth and other planets, and always will. No reputable scientist could deny that increased Sun activity causes an uptick in Earth''s temperatures. Man''s impact on the planet is exaggerated. All 6 billion people on Earth would fit into an area no bigger than New England.
