Lessig admits that he would need a time machine to qualify for the debates and suspends his campaign.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4IsqmMqCEo He should have run an earlier campaign promising to create a time machine because then, when he was elected, it just would have happened.

Spiffster posted:Is there any traction behind the anonymous leaks? Dan Coats was listed as a possible KKK member and yet I have heard next to nothing in response to such a startling revelation. No news organization is going to run a story with that accusation based on an anonymous internet post, so unless there's independent verification don't expect much.

Quote of the day, “The main thing I would say is that nothing’s free. If someone offers you something for free, treat it as if they’re offering you heroin and think about the repercussions of what is free and what is a drug, an addicting drug like heroin and the ramifications of that. There’s nothing free. It just means somebody else is gonna pay for it, you don’t see them. So the plumber, the welder, the carpenter, the people who don’t go to college are being asked to pay for your education.” ~ Rand Paul, on public education.

And keep in mind that if Vitter loses the gubernatorial race he might decided to stay on and run for his Senate seat again, which would turn that into a possible Democratic pickup in 2016.

He hasn't been doing well in debates and noone is covering him. I don't get it. Jindal has spent his entire campaign in Iowa doing in-person appearances. I'm not sure he's left the state except to attend the debates.

Yes, don't dump industrial waste into water that touches water that touches water that touches my mouth. Roy Blunt is using that to argue that the EPA shouldn't be allowed to regulate water that flows into water because that would let them regulate all the water. And then what would we have? Clean water? Not in my America!

zoux posted:Jesus, I thought this thing was polling neck and neck. Beshear won Lexington by 30 points. Conway should be up there by more. He also only has a small lead in Louisville in early returns. If that doesn't improve, he's going to have a tough time making up the deficit he'll face elsewhere in the state.

Bevin currently leading by 15,170 votes with 36.6% reporting. Drew Curtis has received 14,163 votes, so you can't blame him for this (yet).

If you want to hold out hope, Bevin's lead has shrunk to a little over 3% with 44% reporting and about 40% of Jefferson County (Louisville) still out. Either way, it's going to be tight.

With 88% of the vote in, the vote total is 862,024, so we can expect about 979,573 votes tonight. Kentucky has 3,201,852 registered voters, so we're looking at about 30.6% turnout.
