Clinton in Kentucky

In Northen Kentucky, there is a very popular festival called Maifest, which draws thousands from both Ohio and Kentucky. Earlier in the week, they announced that Bill Clinton would be a guest, they canceled that announcement yesterday and out of nowhere announced Hillary Clinton herself will be the guest this evening at the festival.

Do not get the impression that the Obama campaign is just giving up on the area. First, my mother has gotten one piece of mail from Obama EVERY day for the last 8-10 days. Clinton campaign has yet to mail anything to her, which is odd because she is a middle aged, white woman who has been a registered nurse for nearly 30 years. White, upper middle class, middle aged and a health care career is a classic Clinton demographic... comes to show how out of money this campaign is. Also, many of my friends are Obama supporters (my closest have 'seen the light'... lol, but many still cling to him), they have been contacted by the campaign to go to the festival and hand out stickers and signs. A few have found the time to help out. I went yesterday to soak in all the festivities and the Clinton campaign was there handing out stickers and signs, there were many individuals with stickers on. What must be known though is the fact they are placed in a VERY Republican area, so many will not support either one. I have no idea if the McCain camp will be out in force or not.

A cousin of mine who is a radio host has been invited to attend a fundraiser while Clinton is in NKY. He, like many in my family, is a registered Democrat who votes Republican 80+ % of the time. He will be giving a generous donation and then wants to discuss a few issues with her since it will be a relatively small group in attendance. I will post if anything comes of it.
