Democratic nominee Jack Conway has a new ad in the Kentucky Senate race, touting the support of the state Fraternal Order of Police — and declaring that he’s “darn good” at his job as state Attorney General.
“Jack Conway is the chief law enforcement officer for Kentucky and a darn good one,” says Calloway County Sheriff Bill Marcum. Notably, the ad also points to Conway’s record in a major drug bust in the state, which nabbed 518 people. As the Conway camp’s press release says: “Conway’s record stands in stark contrast to that of opponent Rand Paul, who has come under fire for saying illegal drugs aren’t a ‘real pressing issue’ in Kentucky.”
‘Darn good.’ That’s a heck of a step down from his previous tagline at the Fancy Farm Picnic in 2009, “I’m one tough son of a bitch.” Is this what they call repositioning for the general election?
The TPM Poll Average gives Republican nominee Rand Paul a lead of 45.4%-41.0%.
