Great 2020 stuff in Huff Post this week. Loved the stories on how older voters don't like Sanders (https://t.co/U84xri9FmL) and younger ones aren't into Biden. https://t.co/oMXCJKO89S — PolitiTweet.org

I talked to the great @Taniel about Beshear's restoration of voting rights for felons in Kentucky. He described some major challenges in implementation. I left this conversation being skeptical there would be anywhere near 140,000 new people voting. https://t.co/zqZQPHqyXZ — PolitiTweet.org

In the 2016 Democratic primary, Clinton and Sanders basically tied in Kentucky. So there is probably appetite for more centrist Democratic candidates and more lefty ones. https://t.co/q7MwgjR5DL https://t.co/J75vcEwYRB — PolitiTweet.org

Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr

I cribbed some from a super-interesting interview with Charles Booker done by @jazminsmith and @rkahne of @MyOldKYPod. Very much worth a listen if you are interested in KY politics. https://t.co/lkdsdCtmom — PolitiTweet.org

The fight between the left and center-left that is happening on Capitol Hill and on the campaign trail may be coming to Kentucky.

We think if the removal vote in the Senate happened today, there would about 44 votes for removal, 56 against. Of course things can change. But it's hard to see anything emerging that would meaningfully affect the calculations of any of the 100 senators. https://t.co/NsyU8LyciL — PolitiTweet.org

.@JoshuaPoe_Lou and I looked at the low voting rates in Kentucky, especially in the eastern part of the state. Kentucky is usually described as red state but it may be better-understood as a politically-disengaged/disenchanted one. https://t.co/Hfo4sCcX3r — PolitiTweet.org
