Muppets in Kentucky find promising candidates

With two new stories released today showing Senator Jim Bunning's reelection chances diminishing greatly, not only are Democrats in Kentucky feeling good about their prospects, but Muppets are too. And all eyes are turned to one individual: Buster the Horse.

Horse, who has been semi-retired there since 1995, has expressed interest in possibly seeking election to the office. Close friends have said that he is terribly upset by Bunning's inept leadership in the Senate and that he doesn't trust the slate of Democratic candidates.

When phoned for questions, close friend and former riding companion Forgetful Jones could not remember the name of Buster, but did recall the poor leadership Bunning had displayed in the Senate. He also broke into a song and dance routine of "Oklahoma", at which point the conversation ended.

It is worth noting that Buster the Horse's signature achievements in health care (specifically dental hygiene) will be appealing to a body hoping to reform the health care system in America. If he does run, expect the aforementioned health care reform and farm land subsidies to be at the top of his agenda.

But there are also rumours that Gobo Fraggle, from Fraggle Rock, might make a run. As is well known, the Fraggle caves connect to the cave systems in Kentucky. And while residency issues are still pending, it is well known that Gobo Fraggle has had his eye on a congressional seat in Outer Space for a long time now. His decision to run depends on if the Muppet candidate is progressive enough for the Fraggles sensibilities.

If Gobo does run, the Muppet primary battle in Kentucky will be a fun one to watch. No word yet on who Clementine will be endorsing.
