Benton Kentucky held it's annual "Tater Day"  yesterday and thousands attended. Noticeable missing was Bruce Lunsford. I don't want to be critical of Lunsford, but Bruce has missed what I consider 3 major events, the Louisville Metro Democratic Club Debate, the Ruby Laffoon Dinner and now the Tater Day event. One could easily conclude that Bruce Lunsford doesn't really give a shit about being around regular folks, especially in Western Kentucky. I realize that some folks think it's silly that I criticized Bruce for not attending events, but it seems to me we have a pattern here, but it's possible that Bruce did attend, but wasn't seen by the folks I talked to.
This blog has a place for comments and a comment from Bruce Lunsford as to why he didn't attend or if he did attend the "Tater Day" event would be welcomed!
Mike Watt attended the event and took photographs, click here  to view Mike's photos of the event.

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.
