Kentucky newspaper endorses progressive Democrat in Senate primary

A Kentucky newspaper is endorsing progressive state Rep. Charles Booker on Tuesday in the Democratic primary for the state's Senate race.

"We understand that Booker is the underdog in this race; he has a steep climb to earn votes outside of his native Louisville, where he is well-known. But we believe this is a time for passion, not pragmatism," the Herald-Leader editorial board wrote in its endorsement on Tuesday.

"Charles Booker is the only one generating real excitement among young people and old. We believe he would move the state in the direction that Kentucky needs to go in the future so it can, at long last, move forward. He deserves your vote," the board wrote.

1. He can't win statewide that is the bottom line.

I support McGrath in that race, she has a chance to unseat the turtle man. I don't give a lick about "progressive", I want a Democrat no matter what, one that can win.

2. Going to be a steep up hill for ANY Democrat

It's not just about beating McConell, it's also beating his political machine that has run things for decades.

3. But a progressive has zero chance in that state.

4. That's an undeniable fact

To have half chance we need the most conservative democrat we have to go up against Mitch.
