Dr. Dan -- Kentucky's next U.S. Senator

Here's the email I got today. Lots of endorsements, potentially strong financial quarter!

Dear Andy,
The financial quarter ended last week and we want to thank you all for your support. With your help, we may have our best quarter yet! Over 60,000 Strong and Growing!
Our campaign on behalf of Kentucky's working families continues to gain momentum. Daniel has now been endorsed by labor organizations representing over 60,000 working men and women. Just last week, the Western Kentucky Central Labor Council acted on the International Association of Machinists' recommendation and recommended that the state AFL-CIO endorse Daniel. Last month, Daniel was unanimously endorsed by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Prior to that, Daniel was endorsed by the Tri-State Area Building and Construction Trades Council located in Ashland, Kentucky and the Owensboro Area Building and Construction Trades Council in Western Kentucky. Daniel also received statewide endorsements from the UA - Pipe Trades Association (Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steam fitters) and Kentucky's Operating Engineers.
Women for Mongiardo
Women for Mongiardo held their first fundraising event last week. Hosted by the Hon. Eleanor Jordan, Virginia Woodward, the Hon. Robin Webb, Barbara Gould, Louis Combs Weinberg, and Dr. James D. Woodward the reception was a "Who's Who" of Kentucky's women leaders. Our campaign's Women's Organization Director Patsy Blevins was also in attendance.

Political Shenanigans
We want to take a moment to address the issue of audiotapes that were anonymously posted on an internet blog last week. As Governor Beshear said, this is nothing more than "political shenanigans." It is being orchestrated by political opponents to try and slow Daniel's growing campaign momentum. For anyone who heard them it is obvious that these are heavily edited snippets of audiotape that have been cut and spliced and pasted together with various sound effects added. Neither Daniel nor the campaign is going to give them credibility by commenting on their content.
Daniel wants to make it clear that he is proud to be Steve Beshear's Lt. Governor. He strongly supports Governor Beshear and he unequivocally supports him for re-election in 2011. Daniel is equally proud to have the Governor's support and endorsement for his Senate campaign. Daniel and the Governor are not going to let these kinds of political pranks interfere with their friendship.
As a practicing doctor who for almost 20 years has been committed to providing badly needed medical care in Eastern Kentucky, Daniel has often said he is not running for the U.S. Senate because he covets a political title or a political office. Daniel is running for the U.S. Senate because he passionately believes he can make a real difference in the lives of hard-working families---to create jobs, fix our broken health care system, and develop Kentucky coal to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
With your continued support, Daniel can make a real difference to improve the lives of Kentucky families. Join us at

I'm telling you, my creepiness radar is beeping big time. This guy – Obama supporter or not – is less progressive than anyone would care to admit. There's a reason he polls better against Grayson than Conway. That would be because he IS Grayson with "D" tacked on after his name. Did I mention his beady eyes, I feel like I should.
