Ignoring Kentucky

How must it feel to live in a state where for months on end you were bombarded with television and radio ad’s promoting or lambasting a presidential candidate, only to find the morning after the election that your vote didn’t matter? How must it feel sitting before the television on the night of the election – the election that seemed to take forever to finally arrive – watching the numbers scroll along the bottom of the screen that shows your chosen person is running away with the show, earning 65% of the state’s vote, going to bed elated that your “team” won, then waking to find that the guy who lost doesn’t care and is in another state with his arms raised in victory? I would imagine it must feel frustrating, and rather depressing.

This is how the people of Kentucky must feel this morning, after waiting so long to vote either for Hillary Clinton or against Barack Obama (only the voter truly knows which). No matter how much mud-slinging, or campaign promoting they endured, the man they had to wait so long to vote against was claiming victory before they even had a chance to vote. It must be a bitter pill to swallow that he was right, and apparently Kentucky didn’t matter.
