The Lexington Herald Leader looks at the kickoff of Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race:
“Mitch McConnell and his major Democratic opponent,
Alison Lundergan Grimes, will take the same stage Saturday for the first
time as rivals in next year’s U.S. Senate race in Kentucky. The
occasion will be the political speaking program Saturday afternoon at
the 133rd annual Fancy Farm picnic in the far Western Kentucky county of
Graves, where candidates often unleash old-school stemwinders laced
with political raw meat.”
Scott Wartman: “The heated political rhetoric at Fancy Farm this weekend should
give voters a sense of how the 2014 U.S. Senate candidates stand up in a
hostile environment.”
