C-J endorses Lunsford

The Courier-Journal has endorsed Bruce Lunsford for US Senate:

An old political adage holds that a member of the U.S. House is a local official who happens to work in Washington, but a senator is a national figure who is chosen in one state.

It is through this lens, focused on the troubled state of the nation, that we hope voters will view this year's Senate race in Kentucky.

And it is with the country's best interests as the top objective that we endorse Bruce Lunsford, the Democratic challenger, to be Kentucky's next senator.
