The Solzy Bump?

As you all know, it has been almost a week since KY political blogger Daniel Solzman gave his big endorsement to Bruce Lunsford's candidacy for US Senate.

Though there has not been any polling done, I think it's fair to say that this endorsement has shifted the momentum in this race completely towards Bruce Lunsford. Though some say that the D.C. and Frankfort establishment's backing of Lunsford is his greatest asset right now, I think these might eventually pale in comparison to the endorsement from KY's blogosphere, particularly that of Solzman, widely recognized as the "sage" of their blogosphere.

You saw the same thing happen in 2007 when Solzman got behind Jonathan Miller in the Governor's race. Miller went from nobody to potential front-runner instantly after the famous interview that Solzman did with Miller below.



If Lunsford's people were smart, they would start to immediately make overtures towards Solzman for him to do a good sit down interview with Lunsford on camera. Such an interview could give Lunsford a commanding lead over Fischer and potentially end the race before it even starts.
