It is a beautiful place.

From the exit polls:

According to the just released exit polls, only 33 percent of Clinton backers said they would vote for Obama should he be the party's nominee. That compares to 71 percent of Obama supporters who say they are willing to support Clinton if she wins the nomination.

Those numbers are even worse for Obama than in West Virginia one week ago, where 36 percent of Clinton voters said they would back Barack Obama in fall.

I highly recommend it! Really it's a no-loss trip. You see your country, you engage in the process, if anything every extra delegate she wins earns her leverage to get on the ticket.

Her maker's mark moment was sooo cheerful. She's such a cool person, brilliant yet down to earth.  At home with world leaders and desperate housewives.  Every time I see her I smile back. She lifts me up when I'm feeling low. It's up to the rest of the voters, I hope they all see what I see, a champion, American Girl!!!

and over the last two weeks.

What week. Seems like West Virginia was weeks ago.

13% in Clinton 49% Obama 48%.

I usually require a martini but tonight I'm switching to some of your Maker's Mark, Hamp.  And, btw, you know Rico and I are strictly platonic.  Don't you?

Woohoo!

Congrats to HRC on a BIG win in KY!

Good thing Hillary isn't a race horse because they would have put her down by now. They can try all they want but she is still in to WIN! And I'm with Hillary all the way!

From BTD at Talkleft:

"BTW, Chris Matthews just lied on NBC. Clinton won college graduates in Kentucky by 60-34. Matthews lied and said Obama won them. NBC is not a news organization. More - Clinton won EVERY AGE GROUP. She won 17-29 by 55-39. She won 60 and older by 76-18."

anything broken?

Is anna still clothed?

Are tolstoy and ricco on the porch having a platonic moment?

Almost seems so. I see 80% in some groups...

LORETTO, KY - Kentucky loves its horses and its college basketball - and judging by the number of distilleries we drove through on the way to Hillary Clinton's first campaign event on a four-day tour of the state, it loves its bourbon.

Senator Clinton toured the oldest such distillery in Loretto today, where Makers Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is produced. She even got to dip a bottle into the company's trademark red wax to seal it tight - though she admitted she got a little sloppy.

"I think they're going to give me the bottle because it dripped some," she told the crowd gathered for a picnic outside. "So I think that I get to take that one home, which is not a hardship, you've got to admit."

"There's some benefits to running for president, every so often," she joked.

In the spirit of the place, she even worked some boozy references into her energy plan. "Think of what you could do if we got back to just putting alcohol into the gas tank," she said. "The model T Ford got better gas mileage than the SUV does today, and it ran on ethanol. You know what it ran on, it ran on moonshine."

As the crowd whooped and applauded, Clinton continued "it had more power and went further and had more kick than what we see in our cars today. It may be back to the future. I think Kentucky can play a leading role in that, getting us organized for those biofuel futures."

click the sig line if you don't know what to do

Kentucky always brings to mind grass.

Got any?

Releases fund raising numbers while Hill is speaking.

ASSHOLE!

and Wright.

Mr."Senator" Todd bloviating on CNN now, patting "Mrs. Clinton" on the back for being a good girl with a good tone now. There is a sexist bastard if you need an example of sexism in the campaign, Obo supporters.

Whahooey!

"I'm going to keep making our case until we have a nominee, whoever she may be."

Using his preacher voice. Just use your regular voice please Obama.

Not to be hyper-militant about this sexism thing but that is so not appropriate, given...this entire primary.

They think they live in 1958.

Ugh I can't bear four years of this!

If anyone has missed this diary expressing what Clinton supporters feel, it is wonderful and needs reced.

Obama has won a majority of the pledged delegates tonight.

It is likely that he will win a majority of pledged delegates even in 50% of florida and michigan delegates are seated.

Have fun with your cute little thread.

"Tonight we toast the memory of Eight Belles a courageous horse who ran against the boys and ran hard.  They bumped her and tried to crowd her out but she kept going.  They ganged up on her and she kept going.  She never gave up, until they put her down."

This is a fitting metaphor for Clinton in some ways, but not in others!  NOBODY has the power to put her down!  Regardless of how this race ends, she'll still be going very strong.  We can all expect great things from her for a long time.
