Maker's Mark

Polwatchers is reporting U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) will be in Prospect tommorrow night to raise money for state Sen. Brett Guthrie's (R-Bowling Green) bid for Kentucky's open 2nd Congressional District.

The fundraiser will reportedly be held at home of Bill Samuels, president of the Kentucky bourbon brand, Maker's Mark.

Boehner will be the second big-name national Republican to hit the state for a fundraiser on behalf of Guthrie.

In late March, Vice President Cheney briefly stopped in Lexington for a lunch-hour event to raise funds for Guthrie's campaign.

U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) will be hitting Kentucky this weekend for a two-day tour in the state she is expected to take handily in the May 20 Democratic Presidential primary.

Clinton's first stop will be in Loretto on Saturday, when the senator is scheduled to tour the Maker's Mark bourbon distillery and attend a community picnic. Her visit to Loretto will begin at 1:30 p.m.

The former first lady will then headline a Get-Out-the-Vote rally in Frankfort at 4:30pm. That event will be held at the Bell Gymnasium on the campus of Kentucky State University.
