GOP Fraidy Cats

By Sniffles

Jack Conway is the Democratic candidate for Senate from Kentucky. We cats have been impressed with him for awhile, now.

Apparently, the voters of Kentucky might agree. What used to be a yawner for teabagger Rand Paul has turned into a much tighter race than expected. (Gee, where are all the media folks on this one? Are they still too busy touting the single poll that showed Carl Paladino within striking distance of Mario Cuomo in New York?)

Here's something else about the Kentucky race that got our attention. Mr. Conway agreed to debate Rand Paul on FOX News. And he did. Normally, such an action wouldn't be out of the ordinary, but in a year in which Republican candidates have refused to appear with their Democratic opponents on, say, MSNBC — indeed, at a time in which Republicans and teabaggers have literally run from the press — we think that Mr. Conway has the cojones that the famous quitter from Alaska is so fond of talking about.

Good for Jack Conway. We cats PURR in his direction, and we're going to send some money that way, too.

P.S. This is our 1,000th post. If we do say so ourselves, congratulations to us!
