kyyank Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wireman Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The looks on some of those guys' faces during Jones' roast was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Parker Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I happened to be at Mom and Dad's yesterday. We watched the opening monologue through Beshear's speech. Seems like an interesting event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyyank Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Local guy Knipper, challenging Grimes, speech was awkward. Sacrificial lamb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se7ens Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For statewide offices I doubt if it's necessary at all given the number of KY voters vs the attendance at the picnic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyyank Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet16 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 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.

LIPTON BASH Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Seems like a silly side show that has no bearing on how the general population votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
