cut from the same cloth as Bush in KY = miserable failure....LOL “There’s a very strong anti-Bush electorate that we can go after and animate, even in the most Republican of districts,” said Jim Bonham, executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “They can change the outcome of an election dramatically.” Democrat Ben Chandler, who led in the polls throughout the campaign, defeated Republican State Sen. Alice Forgy Kerr, 55 percent to 43 percent, on Tuesday in a race to fill the House seat vacated by Republican Gov. Ernest Fletcher. The campaign marked the first time since 1991 that Democrats have won a special election for a seat formerly held by the GOP. But Bonham noted that Forgy Kerr ran a campaign commercial that said she and Bush were “cut from the same cloth” in an obvious attempt to ride his coattails to victory. Given her defeat, he said the DCCC hopes to recreate a “micro-strategy” of motivating anti-Bush voters in other districts. In Kentucky, the DCCC used mass mailings that included unflattering photographs of the president and questioned whether he was able to “grasp the truth” about the economy as a whole and job losses in Kentucky in particular. “Send President Bush a wake-up call. Vote Democrat,” the pamphlets said. msnbc.msn.com
