Political Report

   _Canidate Spotlight: Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway_
   During his term as Attorney General Jack Conway has showed vigorous
   commitment to making Kentucky a safer place for families and small
   businesses. Since taking office, General Conway has launched a comprehensive
   attack on internet crime, and made strides in pursuit illegal drug
   trafficking by creating Kentucky’s first ever task force for prescription
   drugs. He has set an example by recovering $175 million for the Kentucky
   Medicaid program, and saving taxpayers almost $400 million in his effort.
   General Conway’s continues his fight today against those who seek to take
   advantage of taxpayers in Kentucky by using the tools of his office to
   protect Kentucky consumers and taxpayers.

   General Conway is seeking reelection in 2011, using his strong record and
   statewide presence to boost him past his Republican opponent Todd P’Pool.
   P’Pool has received early fundraising assistance from Senator Mitch
   McConnell (R), who helped clear P’Pool’s path in the GOP primary.

   Early public polling we’ve seen is encouraging. An early March, 2011 Braun
   Research poll shows General Conway up by almost 20 points.
