20. From someone who ONLY knows him from his senatorial campaign...

..perhaps insulting him by referring to him as a turd may be a bit careless, but he sure impressed as a weak, fledgling candidate that spent more energy trying to make Rand Paul into a college goof ball than focusing on what he had to offer Kentucky as their senator. I'm shocked to learn he is running for governor? Seriously, I hope he is more focused and effective in this campaign than he was against Paul. I found it hard to support him against Paul.
I used the term "turd" because he was weak at best, and appeared off on irrelevant tangents that cost Kentucky a Democrat in Congress today.
Possibly my perception was off, but he appeared to be the weakest Deomcratic senatorial candidate that I watched.
