Kentucky Voter Turnout Numbers Spark Debate
ABC News.com: Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine said today that voter turnout numbers in the state of Kentucky were the aspect of Tuesday’s election contests which surprised him the most. "...(T)he Kentucky primary drew more votes for the Democratic loser than for the Republican winner...(T)hat tells me something about Democratic energy that is a little bit different than what some are saying..."
"If that surprises Tim Kaine, then he doesn’t know very much about Kentucky politics," Paul adviser Jesse Benton told ABC News. "In November, elections in Kentucky come down to independent voters and substantial numbers of registered Democrats who vote Republican...Despite having a nearly two-to-one registration advantage for Democrats...Kentucky went 57-to-41 percent for John McCain over Barack Obama..."I'm ignoring the Rassmussen poll I've seen, partly because I know they skew Republican, but mostly because it was taken Wednesday night. But will they vote for Rand anyway, or does Jack Conway have a realistic chance of pulling this out?

contribute to Rand's opponent Jack Conway and Blanche Lincoln's opponent Bill Halter, even if you don't live in their states.
