I am almost sure that this was brought up in one of the Perlstein books.
I’ve followed politics for most of life and I’d never heard of this story before.
I suppose y’all are going to tell me you never heard of Selene Walters either.
I knew that Ben Franklin used to hang out with a dude who ran a Satanic sex orgy club, but not this.
I had not but I’ve been relatively indifferent to politics most of my life.

If you could magically drop Louisville in Alaska and Lexington in North Carolina, you could switch those two states to tossups.
