Clinton’s close friend, Lexington businessman Jerry Lundergan, confirmed that Clinton is scheduled to visit the state on Monday. Lundergan said the location of Clinton’s visit has not yet been finalized.
Clinton’s appearance in the state would be designed to help offset an enthusiasm gap between Democrats and Republicans. Polls have consistently shown that Republicans say they’re more likely to vote in the Nov. 2 election than Democrats.
Until recently, polls have shown Conway, the state’s attorney general, generally trailing tea party favorite and Republican Rand Paul, an eye surgeon who is making his first bid for public office.
As of mid-September, Democrats outnumber Republicans in the state 1,627,673 to 1,064,962. A total of 192,798 Kentuckians were registered as independents or with other parties.
A recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll showed Clinton as the most popular politician in the country.
Big Dog still has a lot of pull around here, despite my love/hate political relationship grousing about the man. If he can keep Rand Paul out of the Senate, then more power to him. We need every boost we can get and if that means Bill, then so be it.
