BIG WIN FOR DEMOCRATS ENDS UP AS BAD NIGHT FOR NKY DEMOCRATS

Local Democrats are undoubtedly celebrating the statewide victories of most of their candidates, but there was bad news. The Democrats shellacked the Republicans in almost every race Tuesday night. But in Kenton County, the results were reversed. Even a Republican candidate that lost statewide by more than 170,000 votes cruised to victory here. What that means for local races in Covington in 2012 at the link.

MAINSTRASSE CAFE ANGRY WITH CITY OVER ELECTION DAY LIQUOR RULES

The owners of Chez Nora took to Facebook Tuesday to blast the city for enforcing state rules:

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Today is our 36th Election Day (18 years x two) For the first time ever Chez Noa has been instructed that we must put our liquor under lock and key (as opposed to simply not serving alcohol) but@! we have been given a break this year - we need only put tables cloths to cover the bottles. But next year, whooboy, we had better lock it up! This town is so business friendly as to be ridiculous.

Of course, while it may have been a city official enforcing the rule, it is a state law. A law I don't understand either.

COVINGTON'S EMERGENCY SHELTER CELEBRATES SUCCESS STORY

A man who arrived on the night the shelter opened this season is now moving on, with a job and a home:

Out of work with no family who had room to house him, Dan arrived to our shelter ready to find work and get back his life. Today, he moves into his apartment in Covington after securing a job in the construction field. He just needed us for a short period but during that period he was able to get some sleep, keep clean and maintain his years of sobriety from alcoholism. We wish our third graduate a life of stability and peace as he moves into his new home.

WHY TUESDAY NIGHT WAS BAD FOR NKY DEMS & WHAT IT MEANS FOR 2012 IN COVINGTON

Covington's role as a Democratic stronghold was strenghtened Tuesday night in Kentucky's statewide election as Democrats won five out of six races in the city's precincts. However, when results came in from the rest of Kenton County, the Republican candidates nearly swept the ballot, winning every position but Governor. Beshear won by roughly 1,500 votes but it was brutal for Democrats down-ticket. That news could serve as a preview of the 2012 election in Covington.

Secretary of State: Despite losing statewide by more than 170,000 votes (61% to 39%), Republican Bill Johnson won Kenton County by a margin of 14,212 to 11,287 (56% to 44%) over Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes. Grimes won Covington.

Attorney General: Democrat Jack Conway rebounded from his 2010 US Seate loss to Rand Paul by winning reelection to his post as Kentucky's top law enforcement official. Conway easily defeated Todd P'Pool, but again, the roles were reversed in Kenton County. P'Pool won the county by a healthy margin of 14,460 to 11,177.

Treasurer: The closest race of the night statewide was not close at all in Kenton County. While Democrat Todd Hollenbach was reelected 49% to 46%, Republican challenger KC Crosibie, who was endorsed by Covington City Commissioner Steve Frank (who cohosted a fundraiser for her at the Ascent) coasted to a Kenton County victory (54% to 38%).

Auditor: The GOP candidate seeking this office has filed for personal bankruptcy protection twice. He was anihilated in the election statewide, 56% - 44%. And yet, Republican John Kemper scored the second biggest win of all in Kenton County commanding 60% over Democrat Adam Edelen here.

Commissioner of Agriculture: Republican James Comer's win, the only one statewide for the GOP, was not a surprise. The margin of his victory in such a great year statewide for the Democrats, on the other hand, is a surprise. Comer won 64% to 36%. Comer not only won Kenton County (68% to 32%), but he even won Covington.

Governor: Saving the best for last... If Kenton County went so handily to the GOP in all the down-ticket races, what happened to David Williams? Remember, the GOP nominee also lost here in the primary to Tea Party hero Phil Moffett. Governor Beshear won Kenton County (51% to 45%) and Covington. In a very bad night for David Williams, the results from Kenton County (and Campbell County too, which had the exact same results) have to be the hardest to swallow.

So do these races mean anything for the 2012 elections in Covington?

Possibly. In 2007, the statewide office races all ended in landslides, but for three Democrats and two Republicans. 
Kentuckians are willing to vote for either party on the same day. In 2010 we learned that Covingtonians are also willing to do that, electing two Democrats and two Republicans to the city commission. Tuesday night's results indicate that Covington still prefers Democrats overall, so that is good news for left-leaning candidates for commission next year. However, with the Republican Comer's victory in the city, Covington proves willing still to vote for Republicans.

Another race to watch that does not look good for Democrats, is the state senate seat held by Republican Jack Westwood. The three-term Erlanger conservative narrowly escaped defeat in 2008 at the hands of Covington's Kathy Groob. That was a good year for Democrats. Tuesday night in Kentucky was a great night for Democrats statewide, but a horrible night for Democrats in NKY. Covington's votes were virtually wiped out by the right-leaning ballots cast in the suburbs. Westwood's district encompasses more than Covington and now that we know he is retiring, we can brace for a seriously tough campaign. Trouble for the Democrats is, the main event for the seat may be the GOP primary.

ELECTION NIGHT IN KENTUCKY: RESULTS FROM KENTON COUNTY

UPDATE: 8:27 100% reporting. Beshear wins Kenton County but GOP sweeps all other races, as suburbs wipe out Covington's Democratic votes. 26,408 ballots cast in Kenton County for 24% turnout. Updated results below.

UPDATE: All statewide races now called (9:12PM). AP calls races for Governor Beshear (D), Secretary of State-elect Grimes (D), Attorney General Jack Conway (D), Audior-elect Adam Edelen (D), Commissioner of Agriculture-elect James Comer (R), Treasurer Todd Hollenbach (D).

THERE ARE NO ALIENS IN AMERICA, GOT IT?
The White House finally came out and said it. (But do we believe them?)

In response to a public petition, the White House said it has "no evidence" of alien life, or that extraterrestrials have "contacted or engaged" any member of the human race. Furthermore, there is no "credible information" that indicates that any proof of aliens has been covered up by the U.S. government or anyone else."The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth," wrote Phil Larson, who handles space policy and communications for the White House.

Satisfied? LOL.

If the average American only reads at an 8th grade level, why are ballot measures worded in some states up to a 27th grade level (the PhD level)? In a new study by the Pew Research Center, Kentucky is among those states whose ballot measures are worded much higher than the population on average can read.

COVINGTON LATIN'S CONSTRUCTION PROJECT COMPLETE

It looks really great. From today's Enquirer: 

The openness is the most striking feature when walking into the new section. The three-floor structure has big picture windows with views of downtown Cincinnati, Covington and Newport. Open areas with couches near some of those windows give students places to relax during free periods and after school. "There is certainly a lot more room to congregate," said junior Peter Rodgers. "We're not just standing in corners like we used to."The new cafeteria on the first floor, which also has a stage for theatrical productions, can seat 240 students for lunch and 500 for plays. The old cafeteria in the basement has been converted into classrooms for art and health.

 VOTE FOR LOCAL STORES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!

The single most important way we can all help the local economy is by shopping at local, independent retailers. Covington has many shops with passionate, creative owners and they are committed to our city, so let's support them and others like them across the region. On November 19, is the Cincinnati Unchained event:

Every dollar you spend at a locally-owned business generates  approximately three times more economic activity than a dollar spent at  the typical “big-box.” By choosing to shop locally-owned for just one day, we can help support the local entrepreneurs in our own neighborhoods who help make Cincinnati unique.

Shop local! And only local!

A FIRMER HOLD ON LITTER AND GRAFFITI IN COVINGTON'S CORE

Instance of graffiti removed by
Urban Partnerhsip.
Image via

A report this month from the Urban Partnership (operated by the Covington Business Council) indicates that cleaning up Covington's litter and graffiti problem is leveling off. The organization released its monthly report today. "These figures demonstrate that we are getting a firmer hold on litter, weed and graffiti problems allowing our fifteen paid and volunteer workers to focus on areas we haven't had time to address in the past," said CBC Executive Director Pat Frew in a release. After peaking in August with 10,000 pounds of litter picked up, 235 instances of graffiti removed, and 202 city blocks treated for weeds, today's numbers are smaller. The effort will not move more pointedly toward removing instances of gum stains on sidewalks which tripled to 150 in October from 50 in September. A hotline is available for members of the community to request special cleanup projects: 859.291.4333. Follow the Urban Partnership on Facebook.

CVG AIRPORT MAY BE STRUGGLING, BUT SIOUX CITY REALLY SUX

From an article on unfortunate acronyms: 

While FAA identifiers for airports aren’t technically acronyms, the three-letter codes can give rise to their own headaches. Just ask the Sioux City Gateway Airport, which the FAA saddled with the unfortunate designator “SUX.” Airport authorities petitioned for a new code, and the FAA – and this is not a joke – offered them “GAY” as a nod to the “Gateway” part of the airport’s name.
Sioux City decided that switching to GAY probably wouldn’t save them much sophomoric taunting, so officials decided to make the best of the SUX situation. Now the airport markets playful t-shirts emblazoned with slogans like “Fly SUX.”
SUX might not even be the worst airport code. According to a 2008 LA Times story, Fresno’s is FAT, and Perm, Russia’s is PEE. The big winner has to be Fukuoka, Japan, though. We’ll let you guess how that one gets abbreviated.

SCHEPER'S FIRST MEETING AS MAYOR IS EVENTFUL, TENSE
One week after an optimistic swearing-in ceremony, Mayor Chuck Scheper presided over his first meeting at City Hall.

The River City News has comprehensive coverage from Tuesday's meeting:

CHILDREN IN POVERTY INCREASE IN KENTON COUNTY
A new report from KY Youth Advocates shows that 6,197 children in Kenton County live below the poverty level. That's 16% and up from 12% in 2000. The new data is from 2008. Comparatively, Campbell has the same percentage (16%) while Boone has half that (8%). Median household income rose in Kenton from 2000 - 2008 from $43,000 - $52,000. Kenton's unemployment rate in 2000 was just 3.3% (Remember America before Bush?) and rose in 2009 to 9.9%.  The number of children receiving supplemental nutrition assitance in Kenton County nearly doubled from 2000 - 2009 (4,611 - 8,366). The number of Kenton kids on Medicaid also nearly doubled. The entire depressing report can be found at the link (it's a PDF).
