There are 527 reasons Haydon should win, but look for Higdon to win by two points. Bingo parlors rock!

Here’s hoping for a loss for the Beshear machine. Haydon is another recycled partisan hack, just like our incompetent governor.

The recycled partisan hack is David Wiliams, and his stooge Jimmy Higdon, who is such a coward he refuses to even tell voters what his personal position is on expanded gaming.
Anybody who is against the livelihood of 100,000 Kentuckians is a loser.

Can’t we just agree that they are both uninspired partisan hacks?

These special elections show who can get their voters out. Note that the turnout in both of these elections is very low.
With such a low turnout, it the circle of cynism about politics is still out there.
With such an outlook, Kentuckians deserve the ineffective leaders that get elected.

Wondering why almost 2 hours after polls have closed Nelson Co still has not posted it’s results??

In that case Bob, why doesn’t Beshear offer him Williams a job in his administration or somewhere in in state government. He would definitely be doing the KY GOP by forcing them to adopt new leadership in the state senate.

New leadership is needed since Williams will continue to drag this state down now.
This is a real shame!!

Could you Williams-bashers please tell me what great legislation Williams has blocked, or what great things the Senate would have done if not for Williams? Blocking casino gambling doesn’t count. What great initiative has he killed?
