This was my first time to attend the Ruby Laffoon event in Hopkins County and it was great. Special thanks to Hopkins County Democratic Party Chair Brenda Harris Glover and all of the Democrats in Hopkins County. I know I must have called Brenda Harris Glover 5 or 6 times the week prior to the event and she answered the phone every time and was more than accommodating. The Hopkins County Democratic Party has a jewel and that jewel is Brenda Harris Glover. I knew this gal was smart when I received a email from her and she had a .mac email account, OK some PC users are smart to but I found this girl to be exceptional.
The event included a great meal.
Four of the Democratic primary Senatorial candidates spoke at the event and Dale Emmons spoke for Bruce Lunsford, who couldn't make it to the event. The 4 senatorial candidates were  Michael Cassaro, Greg Fischer, James E. Rice and Kenneth Stepp.
Heather Ryan 1st District Congressional candidate gave a rousing speech.
Jerry Lundergan introduced Hillary Clinton and Hillary was well received, by those in attendance.
I hope to have video up of all the senatorial candidates, Heather Ryan and Jerry Lundergan introducing Hillary Clinton by Sunday evening. 
I hope to have video up of Senator Hillary Clinton by Monday.
Thank you Hopkins County, I had one helluva time.

The Louisville Metro Democratic Democratic Club sponsored the first Democratic primary senatorial debate and invited all the candidates from the Louisville area to participate. Mike Cassaro and Gregg Fischer participated. Bruce Lunsford couldn't make it to the event. Mark Hebert moderated the debate. The video, in its entirety, is below and is about 1 hr long. You can watch the video below or go here and watch segments of the video.
Kenneth Stepp another Democratic candidate for Senator was also at the event, but did not participate in the debate, because he is not from the Louisville area, but I did get a short statement from him and the video is below. All of the candidates have one thing in common, defeat Senator Mitch McConnell.
Heather Ryan Democratic Congressional candidate for Kentucky's 1st Cogressional District was also at the event and was kind enough to give me a short interview, the video is below. To find out why Heather Ryan decided to run for Congress click here.
Once again the Louisville Metro Dems out did themselves. Many thanks to them and all their efforts.

As I have said before in a previous post December 18, 2007, my goal as a progressive blogger, during the Kentucky Democratic Senatorial Primary, will be two fold:

1. To give all of the candidates as much positive video exposure as possible.
2. To help any and all the candidates any way I can, to best of my ability, without actually being a part of their campaign.

We, as Democrats, have a chance to defeat Senator Mitch McConnell  and that is what I'm going to focus on.
I wish all the candidates the best of luck and look forward to seeing each of them on the campaign trail. I also look forward to all the candidates working together after the primary to defeat Senator Mitch McConnell.

It is in that spirit that I have posted the videos below of Dr. Mike Cassaro, Greg Fischer and Bruce Lunsford speaking in Frankfort, Kentucky, in alphabetical order, yesterday March 1, 2008.

When I put a Poll up on this site I left Dr. Michael Cassaro off of the list. Dr. Michael Cassaro please accept my apology. I have put a new poll up on the left hand side of my blog.

Greg Stumbo And Michael Cassaro Attend AMERICA 2000+ Meeting.

Last night I had the opportunity to attend an AMERICA 2000+ meeting in Louisville. Many thanks to Dr. Ted and Olivia Fuchs for inviting me to attend. I wish I had brought my camcorder, because US Senatorial candidate Michael Cassaro and Greg Stumbo, who is currently exploring a possible senate run, were there to speak.
Michael Cassaro was impressive, is a very good coherent speaker and quick on his feet. Michael Cassaro, if I understood him correctly, is a Doctor and a lawyer.
Greg Stumbo was in rare form and I do mean rare form, this guy can speak. He delivered a very good coherent speech and kept the audience laughing a good part of the time.
Both men answered questions from the audience at length.
Sorry I don't have video of Michael and Greg, but I did get a photo. See below.
