Can you believe Election Day is almost here?! I can’t remember an election year quite like this one. For better or worse, the election is on everyone’s mind and tongue. Personally, I think the Presidential election has already been decided – so there won’t be any surprises there, in my opinion.
However, the race for the US Senate in Kentucky should be very interesting. Rember the early stages when no one gave Louisville’s Bruce Lunsford (Democrat) a snowball’s chance in Miami against Republican and Ky. household name Mitch McConnell?
Well, right about now, I’d say it’s a toss up. A brilliantly-crafted campaign by Mr. Lunsford coupled with the economy’s woes being plastered everywhere have given McConnell a black-eye. The economy is being a playground bully to all Republicans right now.
I think it’ll probably affect most voters. I believe that most people will buy enough of what the media’s selling to stand before their ballots and think, “Change.” What do you think? I’m not saying it’s right or wrong – I’m just saying that I think the economy will decide this election.
Problem is, there have been several “forces” that have affected the economy and one can’t say with absolute certainty that things would have played out any better or worse if a Democrat had been in the White House. A Democrat WAS when the September 11 attacks were planned. I also believe that we would have had a war if there had been a Democrat in the White House – the public, at the time, was demanding it.
The devastating hurricanes would have also hit without asking who was in the White House.
I’m not saying I’ve agreed 100 percent with everything ANY politician has ever done – not even Ronald Reagan, who personally I wish were in charge now. I don’t agree with everything our candidates right now do or say. Quite honestly, I’m no longer 100 percent loyal to either party. I like candidates from each party, which has never happened before. But I have made my own choices and I will let my voice be heard, so to speak, on November 4.
I hope Kentucky has a stronger voter turn out than ever before. I think that would reflect beautifully on our state.
Today is actually the deadline for voter registration in the general election on November 4. All mail-in voter registration applications must be postmarked by Oct. 6.
