Lake has less chance of winning than the others except Hogan. I suspect he's not spending on Hogan any longer, but let me know otherwise.
True. I won't put much faith into a lead in New Hampshire unless it's substantial. Don't know if it's still the case but I know at one time you could register to vote the same day you vote. And busloads of people from Mass would go vote in NH.
I believe in parents right to choose education for their kids over a one size fits all being forced down them & their kids throats as KY has done forever. Look at how poor KY kids perform overall.
Now don't tell me you oppose it for crap sakes.
And his viability would have been just fine. Beshear is the Governor of a state that is an afterthought nationally. Desantis is Governor of the third largest state population wise. He has national visibility and recognition, especially after he took on the likes of Disney. Had Trump been ineligible, chose not to run or otherwise been out of the race officially, he would have very likely endorsed Desantis from the beginning. Their little beef was strictly a result of Desantis deciding to try and take Trump on. That beef doesn't exist if Trump is out of the picture. His biggest challenge would have come from Haley.

Talked with my SIL this morning and she had not seen/heard about Bosa. One of her grandsons (my great nephew) was best friends with Bosa at OSU. Used to lift weights together all the time. Met him several times. Cool dude. (A little trivia....his great grandfather was in the Chicago mob under Capone...eventually ran it in the late 40s I believe)
And, when the season starts, I'll be watching my first UK b'ball game(s) since the kneel at UF.
Hoping all the celebs keep their promise and leave after Tuesday.
If not... maybe Trump can make "The Purge" a real thing?

First., just because the state would give out vouchers, that doesn't mean any school would have to accept students with vouchers. They'd be able to stay tuition only.
But if a school accepts vouchers, then it must not be permitted to pick & choose who they take; i.e., discriminate.
Truer words have never been spoken.
I many times think that if '20 had not been stolen (yes it WAS stolen) we may be looking at the final week of the Pence Presidential campaign. And, he's so milk toast and boring....he would probably be getting crushed.
Do you think government manages public schools & the money they get well now? I don't.
Schools won't have to take vouchers. If they want to stay tuition only, fine.
I hope new schools will be created. In fact, it's part of the idea.
Net, I don't get your supposed problems.
Will I be able to use a KY tuition voucher to pay for private school in a different state?
Hopefully (once the story makes the rounds) the final nail in Brown's coffin.

Leaked video exposes Dem staffer admitting 'quiet part out loud' in fiery tirade: 'Open the f---ing border'
A Democratic organizer in two key Ohio races was caught on video calling for open borders and labeling those who promote securing the border as "racist."
My point is that this will end up costing us more money through mismangement and bad intentions. I'm not saying the current system works but we are doubling down on stupid.
New schools may be created but a number of them will be for nefarious purposes.
I think it's a fantasy that it will turn out the way you intend.
I am so tired of the race card w/ these morons. Trump's history and successes w/ the black community, business leaders, etc, is well known, but they continue to march out their KKK rants as if he is going to start a march down Pennsylvania Ave when he is elected.
Exactly. If the state is spending $16k per student of taxpayer money to schools, losing 1-5 kids from the classroom doesn't hurt anyone in that classroom (and in reality it would be spread out over an entire grade rather than 1 classroom). In fact it benefits that classroom in 2 ways.
1- it frees up space in an already crowded class so the teacher is that much more able to help everyone in the class, AND 1b frees up resources within the class.
2- it creates competition in the education market so that the public education system has to do better than going through the motions.
A classroom of 30 kids brings the school $480k. How much of that is spent on that classroom? Not much and certainly not so much that they'd miss $80k. The only people missing that money are the ones sucking on the teet in administration. That's it.
Where it starts and where it goes…
Illegals aren’t voting you conspiracy theorist
Some illegals voted but didn’t make a difference
Illegals should be allowed to vote some instances
Illegals can vote just like you and me
You’re racist if you deny illegals from voting

Musk says he can cut $2 trillion from budget at Trump rally
The $2 trillion target represents nearly a third of existing spending. The federal government spent $6.75 trillion in fiscal year 2024, according to the Treasury Department.
these liberal judges sling a lot of weight in our elections
This is why I’m very leery of early voting. That just gives these criminals real time data as to how many ballots they need to harvest. May even make it less suspicious than 2020 when they had to stop the count and dump hundreds of thousands at 4am.
Should I as an American citizen be able to vote in say Ecuador's elections and does that make them racist?
Yes, or no.
same here. i haven’t heard a real convincing argument as to what the advantage is.
Wonder how that will be reconciled with the US 5th Circuit for MS/LA/? other states saying them have to be received by election day.
This is my reasoning as well. The fellow on here that is working for the GOP (can't recall his screenname) said that that was incorrect but didn't elaborate more. Unless our side is willing to cheat like they do, we have a finite number of voters. They simply do not. Sure, we increased Republican registration and early voting numbers, but it's still a finite amount and I rather they all came at once on election day. Because it gives them a shorter window to come up with the needed ballots. This is why these states ran by lefties want the voting to take days to count and have told us that's what they plan on doing. It just seems like a strategic mistake to me. Hope I'm wrong.
First, the amendment doesn't specify vouchers. Just says the Legislature can decide where to spend money besides the common schools. People think it means vouchers primarily.
No idea about spending in other states, but I doubt Legislature can spend money for support of anything outside KY.
Here's the Amendment:
"To give parents choices in educational opportunities for their children, are you in favor of enabling the General Assembly to provide financial support for the education costs of students in kindergarten through 12th grade who are outside the system of common (public) schools by amending the Constitution of Kentucky as stated below?
"IT IS PROPOSED THAT A NEW SECTION BE ADDED TO THE CONSTITUTION OF KENTUCKY TO READ AS FOLLOWS:
"The General Assembly may provide financial support for the education of students outside the system of common schools. The General Assembly may exercise this authority by law, Sections 59, 60, 171, 183, 184, 186, and 189 of this Constitution notwithstanding."
Voters then choose either "yes" or "no" on their ballots.

Yeah, I'll just come and squat in your home and call it "asylum," deal?
So KY should just get out of the school business all together?
I don't have any intentions other than public schools aren't working for many now such that we need to try other concepts. I mean why spend at all on something that doesn't work. I have no doubt there will be issues with the first new plans. Is that a reason to not try at all?
What would Elon Musk say? Rand Paul is gung ho for A2.
You really do have your head in the sand.
