Primary 2008: Candidate Forums In this presidential election year, Kentuckians will also vote in a U.S. Senate race, including contested primaries in both the Republican and Democratic parties, and six U.S. House races, four of which include contested primaries. Also on the ballot are all Kentucky House of Representatives seats, half of the seats in the Kentucky Senate, and a long list of judicial races. KET’s coverage began with a series of forums with candidates in contested congressional primaries. The final pair of forums, with candidates for the U.S. Senate, airs on KET1 Monday, May 12 beginning at 7:00/6:00 pm CT, with live web simulcast. All candidates whose names will appear on the ballot were invited to participate in KET’s forums, which are moderated by Kentucky Tonight host Bill Goodman. The U.S. House forums already produced are all available for viewing online. On Primary Election Day, Tuesday, May 20, at 9:00/8:00 pm CT, Goodman and Renee Shaw will co-host Primary 2008: The Vote, an hour of returns and analysis covering the presidential primary, U.S. House and Senate races, and key state legislative races.
