Kentucky speaks but no one listens....


not even our own officials. With a resounding win by Hillary, our state pledged delegates went with Obama. I believe several of our "superdelegates"(and i use that term loosely) did as well. Regardless of which candidate had won, i take issue with KY Democrat officials who vote in direct opposition to the voice of their constituents. Shame on you all.


I also take issue with the newsmedia that continues to report that the only people in KY voting for Clinton are the uneducated, blue collar ones.....that would be code for poor, racist hicks by the way. Im amazed at the how the media has continually tried to dictate the outcome of this race. And they have done an amazing job of it, from the virtual media blackout of the Edwards campaign to the softballing of Obama, and the painting of a faulty picture that somehow Obama has been the strong frontrunner even though he failed to win PA, OH, WVA, KY to name a few. This contest has been CLOSE the whole way and it is evident that the party is split between two candidates. I think they should run on the same ticket HOWEVER the newsmedia has a different opinion.....they started as early as last week saying how Clinton on the Obama ticket weakens him. I cant imagine how pairing up with someone who has about 50% of the Democratic parties support weakens you. Whatever........they just dont want her on that ticket. Man, those Clintons must really be hated by the party they helped rebuild to get this treatment.


Dont even get me started on the "woman" thing. Perhaps my daughter will have a chance at being the FIRST female president after all......

Teaching the little ones about the democratic process....

The kids after a long afternoon of democracy in action.


Nothing says good time on a beautiful Saturday afternoon like a political rally. It was my first time on such an adventure. We decided to drive to Frankfurt and meet the "Broad" up close and personal. We arrived around 2 and let the wolverine run around on the KSU campus while the bunny nursed. Then we were all ushered through the metal detectors and into the gymnasium. I had the bunny in the front pack bobbing her around down towards the front of the podium.

I hadnt been there more then 3 minutes when a woman in a suit came up and commented on how pretty the bunny was...and then asked how old she was...and then "are you going to be comfortable standing up the whole time? would you like to sit over here? "and she escorted us right behind the podium on the stage. Evidently we were part of the demographic they wanted peeking out from behind Sen. Clinton when on camera. I went and got the hubby and the wolverine.



It was fun. I nursed the bunny ......had to do my part to support breastfeeding in public....but i did it before CNN and company had cameras rolling. Unfortunately we had to wait a long time so by the time Hil-ah-ree arrived the wolverine had about had enough. He got thru about half her speech before announcing loudly and repeatedly that "i DONT want to be here anymore" so Tim took him off the stage and to the side where the wolverine started SINGING. Needless to say they left the building before the secret service could apprehend them.



Meanwhile after Mrs.C finished her speech me and the bunny walked down and met her. She smiled and i said perhaps one day the bunny would follow in her footsteps, she said bunny was beautiful , asked what her name was. I said "Vivienne Hope" then said "and we hope....." and she gave me a knowing smile and nod. I said "god bless you" and she was on to the next person. It was one of those cliched political moments im sure, but it was being a part of history and one day i can tell the bunny she met the first woman to win presidential delegates and a former first lady.
