Yeah, that is what I was thinking. That bible thumper in Lexington is making sure that the issue doesnt get voted on by the people in KY. However, this same bible thumper is the one that said that the people of KY should be able to decide is same sex people can get married in the state of KY. This guy pisses me off. One hand hand he says the people should decide an issue and on the other hand he tries to keep an issue of the ballot. The reason why he wants to keep the slots issue off the ballot is because he knows the people in KY would pass the issue.

I am not so sure about that. I worked pretty hard across the river in Ohio to get the slots passed, and we were unsuccessful, losing 57-43. I would suspect that it might be a little harder in KY, although there might be enough interest in horse racing there to overcome the odds and pass what is good for the industry.

It would be interesting to see, though...

I was disappointed that the measure lost in Ohio. But from what I read, slots would pass in KY quite easily. In polling, it is about a 60-40 split in favor of slots.
