KY-Sen: Big Coal Targets Conway and Chandler

by suibne

Kos had a diary up today (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/7/27/887867/-KY-Sen:-The-latest-on-Rand-Paul-hilarity) mentioning the latest on Rand Paul's hijinks, and also the welcome news that Jack Conway has evened the race in internal polling, and even leads among voters who know both candidates.

However, the Lexington paper and McClatchy are reporting tonight (http://www.kentucky.com/2010/07/27/1365946/supreme-court-fallout-coal-industry.html) that major coal companies have been approached by a lawyer from the International Coal Group of Scott's Depot, WV, about starting up a 527 advocacy group in order to target Democratic incumbents - specifically, Jack Conway and KY-6 House member Ben Chandler.

I didn't run today

(Cross-posted on my blog Natural History Now) I didn't run today. I'm a wuss. I was signed up for a 5k with the Evaro Mountain Challenge ('dogs must have their owners on leash'), a fund-raiser for the Evaro Community Center. The low last night was 36 (degrees F), and the forecast temperature at noon was 42 with a high of 50 this afternoon. Late this morning here at home in Florence, we had a rain and snow shower, although the temperature was in the upper 40's. I have been fixated on temperatures and running for quite some time now.
