Kentucky GOP hallucinates

With the other side in campaign mode 100% of the time, it's a wonder they have time to flood websites with paranoid talking points and organize Tea Parties complaining about how the rich have it so rough.

As the Republicans appear likely to lose not only a Kentucky Senate seat but also one of the state's U.S. Senate seats, the GOP hallucinations are starting to set in.

More accurately, these hallucinations are not starting, but continuing. Remember when Mitch McConnell sent me a reply to a letter I never sent him?

In my home county - Campbell County - Republican chairman Jeff Kidwell thinks Republicans will benefit in the next election cycle because President Obama's approval numbers "are now in the negative."

As if Bush's aren't?

Besides that, Obama actually has positive approval numbers in Kentucky and nationwide. Where the hell is Kidwell getting his so-called information from?

Obama's disapproval is more from the left than the right. And those on the left ain't voting Republican.

The GOP is just downright delusional. They get their "news" from right-wing blogs and hate sites, where they reinforce each other's ideas - instead of branching out to see how folks really view the world.

One thing is for sure: If the next 3 years are like the past 6 months, Obama's won another term. The real issue is whether this will keep up, or whether Obama will move to the far right like Clinton did in the '96 campaign.
