Kentucky Democrats win state Senate special election

In Kentucky Democrats won a special election state Senate race when State Rep. Robin Webb won the 18th Senate district seat. The seat was made available when Gov. Beshear (D) appointed Sen. Borders to the Kentucky Public Service Commission. This victory pulls the Democrats in the state Senate to within two seats of sharing power.

"Senate Minority Leader Ed Worley, D-Richmond, said: “This is a huge victory for the Senate Democratic caucus and a huge loss for the Republican Senate caucus.”

“The Democrats have won the last two special elections. So if there is another special election this year, momentum is clearly on our side,” Worley said."

Congratulations to everyone in Kentucky who made this possible.

This is a huge victory and a speaks directly to those in the MSM who like to think the Obama landslide was not a mandate for change. Kentucky is a solidly conservative state which apparently has had enough of incompetent Republican rule.

I applaud the voters for having the courage to speak up instead of letting the lunatic fringe shout them down.
