Senator Hillary Clinton and Bruce Lunsford made stops in Hazard and in Louisville today, taking shots at Senator Mitch McConnell's record and pushing voter turnout in these critical areas.

At a rally in Hazard Lunsford said, "The winds of change are coming out of the mountains in eastern Kentucky!"

It's a prediction Bruce Lunsford and Senator Hillary Clinton hope will edge out incumbent Senator Mitch McConnell in areas where Lunsford says he needs big leads on election night. Clinton made a last minute plea to supporters:

"For you to do everything you can to convince your friends, your neighbors, your family members to come out and vote on Tuesday as if their lives depended on it, because you know what? They do," Clinton said.

Clinton wasted no time attacking McConnell's voting record, saying "On virtually every issue, you will find him with the privileged and the powerful. It's high time you had a senator who fights as hard for Kentucky as you fight for yourselves, your families, and your future."

McConnell touted his influence as the Senate minority leader to voters in Somerset Saturday, saying Lunsford will gain more for himself than Kentucky.

McConnell said, "Under the constitution every senator has one vote, but every senator does not have equal influence."

Democrats are saying Mitch McConnell's influence is exactly the reason they do not want him back in office.

I see Bruce is the one laying in a ditch Ha Ha Ha! and if McCain loses it will be better for the conservatives get all the blue blood sudo republicans out of our party this will be a good lesson for the republicans. And no it was not George bushes fault its the leaderless blue blooded republicans. In 4 years after jimmy carter the second gets done with the country the Reagan conservatives will make a comeback Mitch won and it shows conservatism wins. I would rather lose an election than have a leader that's acts like a liberal it does not bother me.And trust me Sarah Palin has a bright future ahead of her and yes if Obama wins he will be our president unlike you liberals who wanted to execute Bush.
