[edit] Exaggeration

The sentence "After a long series of false campaign ads, ugly homophobic attacks against Mongiardo, and George W. Bush's big win in the state, Bunning narrowly won the November 2 election by a mere 23,000 votes." seems to be more than a tad bit biased. For example, as I live in Kentucky I can tell you that there was a fair amount of mud-slinging on both sides. Besides, "factually accurate campaign ads" is a paradox nowadays. Much of what Mongiardo said, of course, was well exaggerated too.

I suppose my main problem with this article is that it makes Bunning out to be some sort of crazed maniac and Mongiardo out ot be his helpless victim. You should at least attempt to balance your criticizism of Bunning with the other side of the story.

Nobody is going to stop you if you want to fix it, you know. Everyking 04:44, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
