I've worked in politics for over twenty years. And after all that time, there are four things that I am sick and tired of.

Every local government is trying to get in on the data center wave – but is that smart? Or, are they mortgaging their local infrastructure for something destined to fail? Let's take a look.

Andy Barr's seat in KY-06 is up for grabs this fall. Can a Dem flip it? Bruce Maples does a quick look at the chances.

Think it’s impossible to win as a Democrat in Kentucky? Think again!

It’s definitely possible – but you can’t do it by being mealy-mouthed and passive. You have to be loud and clear on the issues that matter to the people voting – and, you have to be clear that YOU are going to fight for them.
