What Yellow Dog says

Seriously, how much does David Boswell want to lose this race? First, he doesn't get off of his lazy ass to raise money. Secondly, he says inexplicable things like this.

Boswell (D) up 3 points on Guthrie (R) in 2nd District race

In the race to replace retiring Reverend Ron Lewis' 2nd Congressional seat, slightly repugnant Democratic State Senator David Boswell has a 47-44% advantage over Republican McConnell-protege Brett Guthrie, according to a new SUSA poll.

IMO, this is fairly remarkable stuff that indicates that The Great Democratic Wave of 2008 might not leave out us in Kentucky.

The great news from the cross-tabs is Boswell leads Guthrie among "moderates" 62-29%.

However, a few caveats.

1. David Boswell is a big-time Blue Dog who makes Ben Chandler look like Dennis Kucinich. This guy will disappoint us endlessly.
2. David Boswell is a really lazy fundraiser who is behind almost 4-1 in cash to Guthrie. If he doesn't pick up the pace, Guthrie will bury him in ads and take the race.
3. Within the margin of error and 30% say they could change their mind. A looooong way to go on this one, people.
4. "Liberals" make up only 9% of the very conservative district.

However, primary season is over and we're stuck with what we have. As much as Boswell makes us cringe (and he will), he'll be more reliable than another Mitch McConnell stooge who would probably hold that seat for quite a while if he gets into office.

Hold your nose, and ride the wave.

David Boswell is lazy

The rumors I've been hearing for a month about David Boswell appear to be true. I've been hearing that Boswell isn't willing to spend any of his time raising money and is incredibly lazy when it comes to taking his campaign seriously. He thinks that he can sleepwalk into Congress. And Hebert reports that he has only raised a measly $34,000. Pathetic.

Meanwhile, his possible Republican opponent Brett Guthrie has already raised $400,000. And if he keeps this crap up , he might actually have to waste that money trying to beat Reid Haire in the primary.

Get on the ball, Boswell, you're long overdue to start taking this race seriously.
