Kentucky Senate Candidates Gear-Up For Primary
KENTUCKY....
The Kentucky primary is only a few days away, and one of the most hotly contested seats up for grab is the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Jim Bunning. The candidates involved are Attorney General Jack Conway, Lt. Governor and eastern Kentucky physician Dr. Daniel Mongiardo, Army and U.S. Customs drug agent veteran Darlene Price, former banker, current businessman and longtime state cabinet employee Maurice Sweeney and James Buckmaster, a family physician from Henderson, Ky. Mongiardo says he's going to Washington D.C. to be a pro-coal champion. Conway, who spent Wednesday campaigning in Jackson and Hazard, says he supports surface mining if it's environmentally responsible.
