Fancy Farm

[Clyde]

Anyone go to Fancy Farm yesterday?

[Clyde]

Matt Jones was the emcee. Did a nice job.

Gotta agree. Fancy Farm has to be one of the most unique political events in the entire country. Rep or Dem, it is highly entertaining.

The looks on some of those guys' faces during Jones' roast was interesting.

I happened to be at Mom and Dad's yesterday. We watched the opening monologue through Beshear's speech. Seems like an interesting event.

[Jim Schue]

One of these years I'm going to go to this event.

Local guy Knipper, challenging Grimes, speech was awkward. Sacrificial lamb?

He wouldn't have made it through the primary if Grimes hadn't run.

 

My favorite part is Jean-Marie Spann saying her opponent is too educated to be Commissioner of Agriculture.:ohbrother:

Is it necessary for a candidate to attend this event? It seems to me it's the KY version of "Inside the Beltway" in that only the very few of the hard core know or cares about this.

For statewide offices I doubt if it's necessary at all given the number of KY voters vs the attendance at the picnic.

[kyyank]

Is it necessary? Probably, if you want to be viewed as party insider and have future elected aspirations. Need to rub elbows with decision makers.

People from other parts of the state travel to this. There are fewer locals there for the speeches than out of town people.

 

For a while it got pretty bad as far as the rudeness during the speeches. It has gotten better over the past few years because they had to set up some ground rules for supporters.

I'd love to attend sometime.

Seems like a silly side show that has no bearing on how the general population votes.

What is it?
