Alessi's trail mix: Is Fletcher exploiting religion or expressing faith? And is Henry fudging -- again?
Fletcher's campaign has taken on a decidedly religious overtones, from him comparing himself to Jesus to his "this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine" TV commercials, drawing criticisms. But is he exploiting religion for political purposes -- and possibly blurring the Church/State separation --, as he is accused of doing, or is he merely expressing his Christian faith?

Also, I reported here this week that Steve Henry has loaned his campaign $1 million. Well, it is starting to sound Henry-esque. There may NOT be a loan after all. The money was supposedly used to buy media, but then the Henry canceled the media buy and instead issued this notice to the media companies: "Due to limited funding, the Henry campaign is cutting 2 weeks of orders" from May 1 to May 20. "The cuts were across all media; they do not have funds to run their initial plans", though the Henry campaign attributed the email to "shifting resources," Over at The Rural Democrat, Bill Haynes is reporting that the $1 million is a myth.
Share your thoughts on Steve Henry, too.
FYI: Talking about fund-raising on this Sunday, the State Journal is reporting that Fletcher raised a lot of money in Franklin County and the Owensboro Messenger-Enquirer is reporting that Fletcher's fund-raising faltered in Daviess County.

And I saw a thousand dollar tie in Grayson Co. (In under thirty seconds, mind you.)
How was Grayson Co. last night? Give us an update, Micah.
You missed the most important part of the Alessi story. Fletcher has opened up a 22 point lead on Northup. The race is over.
Time for the GOP to unite behind the Governor. He'll beat whomever the Democrats nominate.
Ryan sounded like he doubted the poll results, and I NEVER received ANY information (data, methodology, etc.) from the Fletcher camp on it. (By contrast, I received the info on Northup's poll from her camp!) But anyone who is interested in the poll you reference can find it by following the link to the Alessi piece I posted. Moreover, my post is on the religious angle thing anyway.
Grayson county was Fletcher. Period.
I like the angle that the party used to keep down-ticketers to two minutes, though. The Co-chair walked around with a wireless mic, and after two minutes, she walked off.
I saw no-one in Anne's camp there, nobody spoke for her, nothing. Everyone else used their time to try and bring the party back together, encouraging all to attend, at least in spirit, the unity rally in L'ville.
Thanks, Micah, for the update. I was in court the day before (and four times that week and the week before) and I just couldn't make the dinner.
