Here's the email I received today:
Dear Andy,
Before you begin your celebration for the Labor Day weekend we thought we'd share with you some great news:
Daniel Strengthens Lead in New Poll
In a new independent poll conducted by Daily Kos/Research 2000 released today, Daniel has a strong seven-point lead over his primary opponent, AG Jack Conway (37-30), and is in a statistical tie with Republican Secretary of State Trey Grayson (41-45).
Check out the poll here.
In the primary, Daniel has a strong lead of 12 pts among women, wins among men, and in the general election match-up, Daniel performs better than Jack Conway among Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
This is the second poll in the last month that shows Daniel as the strongest Democratic candidate to take on the Republicans in 2010 - further proof that Daniel is the one candidate to stand up for all Kentuckians from all over the Commonwealth. Other candidates may have more money, but Daniel is the only candidate in this race with a record of standing up for Kentucky's working families.
Join Us With the Governor
Governor Beshear will be the special guest at a fundraiser for Daniel in Northern Kentucky on September 23rd at Crosswind Farms from 5-8 p.m. Earlier this year, Governor Beshear endorsed Daniel, saying, "Now more than ever, we need strong representatives in Washington to give voice to Kentucky priorities and values. I believe Daniel Mongiardo, can be that voice." This will be the first in a series of three events that Gov. Beshear will be attending for Daniel.
We hope you'll join us for this exciting event. For information on attending please contact: Eric Richardson at eric@drdan2010.com.
On this Labor Day
This weekend we celebrate the working men and women of our country with parades, cookouts, and for some, a day of much needed rest. Daniel has long been a supporter of the labor movement and we're proud to have the endorsement of the Owensboro Building & Trades Association, the Tri-State Building & Trades Association and the statewide endorsements of the Kentucky Pipe Trades and Operating Engineers.
Daniel has a busy Labor Day weekend and will be at events in Wolfe County, Maysville and Catlettsburg! We hope to see those of you in the area there! For more information visit our website.
Even if you can't make it out this weekend, we hope that you all have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!

Hey Andy, help me out here. Is there anything in Mongiardos entire career that would make me believe he isn't the same kind of Kentucky Democrat we've been getting the last eternity. I get the sense he's just another unreconstructed southerner "on the move." If you know of anything to the contrary I would love to know it as an actual progressive Kentucky voter.
Holla!
Um, he was the ONLY leading KY Democrat to clearly and publicly endorse Barack Obama in 2008 -- while Jack Conway and other "southern Dems" in KY were "playing it safe" Dr. Dan was out stumping for Barack. That sets him apart in my opinion.
But he also sponsored – not voted for – sponsored the gay marriage amendment. He also consistently votes in favor of the coal industry and mountaintop removal. I can't imagine any proposals he puts forth on education, or even health care would be demonstrably better than Conway (who I'm not sold on quite yet). Frankly, simply supporting my preferred Democratic presidential candidate isn't quite enough. And he just gives me the creeps.
Oh, and write your sister more.
