You meant Kerr, right?

Brilliant. Bush as radioactive candidate-killer. I love seeing the rats flee the ship.

Still a lot of work to be done:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican State Sen. Alice Forgy Kerr has a fund-raising advantage over Democrat Ben Chandler in the bid to replace Gov. Ernie Fletcher in Congress.

Kerr raised a little more than $1 million through Jan. 28, according to a report filed this week with the Federal Election Commission. In addition, Kerr raised an additional $200,000 in the past week, Kerr campaign manager Billy Piper said Friday.

Chandler's FEC report showed he raised roughly $450,000 through the end of last month. However, like Kerr, Chandler pulled in about $200,000 more since Jan. 28, when the federal filing period ended, according to Chandler campaign manager Mark Nickolas.

So what's with the donation link from Insty? Are his readers, y'know, crawling all over each other in order to donate to Chandler?

How about Chandler running Kerrs ads with Bush. He can run an ad where Bush's face morphs into Kerr. I would love to see that.

Cute one, Woot.

Negative electioneering? That's nothing new. But this sounds nasty, bleargh; I don't even think some UK provincial politicians would be allowed to sink so low.

I think the campaign, rather stupidly, took out an ad there.

Thanks to you I have donated to Chandler twice this week. It's true about the Kerr-Bush commercial. I hadn't even realized that they aren't showing it anymore. How sweet it is!

According to today's Newsweek poll Bush would lose to Kerry today 45% to 50%. Bush's approval rating dropped another point to 48%. Maybe there is a God.

Ouch Kerr. Too bad, I feel your pain.

And I've been feeling it since the Supreme Court decided that we don't need elections in this country anymore. Repubs, if you want to keep your cushy elective jobs, you'd better run and hide from your Fearless Leader. (It's not so hard --Osama's been doing it for years now.)

So that's why they have Denny use the tobacco buyout stick- the Bush carrot is rotten and nobody's buying.
The GOP has to be worried, seems like this should be safe territory for GW.

suppose anyone has told Bush he is trailing in polls? that has to be an ugly surprise for him, hope he keeps getting them

And some of us prefer to read comments without having to scroll each line east-west, because those long URLs blow out Haloscan's margins -- at least on my box, which is a pretty standard system. Dammit. I can't be the only one this happens to...

Heh. Or he could run splitscreens of Bush saying something and Kerr echoing. Talk about a push-ad.

Kerr began her campaign by running commercials with her and Bush. Her positives sank and her negatives soared. She pulled the commercials.
