LOUISVILLE -- Scrubbing furniture and floors as part of the Service Employees International Union's "Walk a Day in My Shoes" program, senate candidate - and multi-millionaire businessman - Bruce Lunsford (D-Louisville) shadowed custodian Zina Stanley throughout her daily job of keeping Butler clean for the forthcoming school year.

"He's in better shape than I am," said Stanley. "I am amazed that he can still work like that."

Decked out in an SEIU cap and Butler High t-shirt, Lunsford spent the day with Stanley, working and then breaking for lunch with her and her daughter - a Butler student.

Near the event's conclusion, Lunsford spoke highly of the opportunity. He praised Stanley and her family and told stories about the day.

Clintons push turnout on the brink of KY primary

LOUISVILLE -- Results from tomorrow's presidential primaries in Kentucky and Oregon could theoretically meet the goals of the "expectations game" set by both the campaign of Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.). Today, Obama's campaign pushed the point that they could end Tuesday with a majority of pledged delegates won. At the same time, Clinton's people will argue they could emerge from the day with a clear majority in the popular vote.

Either candidate sits atop the polls in one of the states by at least 20 points. It is here in Kentucky where Clinton is favored, and where she spent election eve with husband and former President Bill Clinton at a rally in front of around 600 supporters in Louisville.

The principal theme of the evening was pushing turnout, and everyone who took the stage hammered home the point that not only should voters vote, but that should bring everyone possible with them.

"I need your help to not only go vote yourselves, but to bring as many people as you can bring with you," said Senator Clinton.

LOUISVILLE -- While stumping for the campaign of his wife, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), former President Bill Clinton told a crowd of about 300 supporters in Louisville to ignore those who were saying the Democratic nomination was in the hands of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).

"All the media experts were telling you this thing is over, you don't count, stay at home, or follow the line -- that's what they are telling you," said Clinton.

"Everybody who has been telling you that has got a good job, a college education, [is] absolutely content with health care, and they don't have a stake in this election," Clinton continued. "You do."
