Clinton Still Crushing Obama In Kentucky

Congressman Ben Chandler's decision to endorse Barack Obama apparently didn't move any Kentucky voters to follow his lead. The latest Survey USA/WHAS 11 poll shows Hillary Clinton still leading Obama by a huge margin in Kentucky, 62%-28%.

Again, the poll numbers don't present a true picture of exactly how Kentucky democrats would vote today because Survey USA inexplicably included a category of "other democrat" that folks could choose. 8% did.

The poll shows Obama is closest in the Louisville area (39%-54%) and winning among African American voters (88%-10%) and those who believe terrorism is the top issue facing the next president (43%-35%). But that's it. Clinton is winning among every other category of voters, including voters age 18-34 (64%-34%). Those young voters are supposed to be a key group of supporters for Obama.

I just think Obama or cliton should now take a step towards the good of the democratic party i mean we are giving to much time to mcain to run freely and not challenging him at all.

This is the same SurveyUSA floks with the poll that had Clinton winning Indiana by 12.5% in their final poll.
Makes one wonder if this huge Clinton Ky lead might be equally off track?

For all those Kentucky Republicans that can't vote for Mr. Obama in this May's Primary.

Join me by showing your support by going to the polls on the 20th and voting for Huckabee.

Let's make a statement, and show just how many Kentucky Republicans there are out there that want to make a CHANGE IN OUR Government, where it is truly "of the people, by the people, for the people". Not the Super Rich!
