    Birder, there are high populations of African Americans in several Kentucky areas. If these regions favor Obama, what then? Are you going to negatively criticize Anfrican Americans for voting for one of their own?

    Kentucky's biggest business is horses and Mitch McConnell gets of score of Zero out of 100 in animal welfare legislation on the Humane Society's Senate Scorecard. And he'll soon be elected for a fifth term...Please explain, Mr Lopate...

    Never mind, I got it.
