9. Cory Booker is a New Jersey Senator and Charles Booker is from Kentucky

So, Charles does have a chance to win. I, too, hope he defeats Paul.

2. Very possible, a lot of people here really don't like Rand Paul.

[JohnSJ]

6. Seeing that Booker is from New Jersey, not Kentucky, that would be something

[Meadowoak]

[JohnSJ]

14. He won't win

I think we need is another situation where we waste $100 million in Kentucky like we did in 2020.

15. We have no chance here. We need to focus on Pennsylvania

and other places with realistic chance of winning.

18. Too Early

I would hold off on that decision until August 1st. Let's see how the public hearings in the Jan 6th Committee play out with the public. By then Garland could be making some noise as well. Granted, KY is a very, very long shot but I am in no hurry to fold.

19. +1, this is 2020 TX, SC, and KY, etc, redux

Those 'never going to win' but emotionally driven races sucked up hundreds of millions of usd (all 3, plus ME, with a poor candidate (Gideon was a non native Mainer. Stephen King would have smashed Collins) had so much money they never came close to spending it all), yet the excess was never properly funnelled nationally and left races like MT and to a lesser degree, IA (we also failed to recruit either of the 2 best candidates there) cash starved, unable to respond to 100 plus million usd in RW dark money-funded, last few weeks massive smear/attack adverts that shit all over the Dems, who didn't have the cash to respond.
