Predicting the president

Predicting the president:

Lawrence County is the birthplace of country singer Ricky Skaggs and former Gov. Paul Patton, and now it has another claim to its name — a 40-year winning streak in picking U.S. presidents.

Louisa Mayor Teddy Preston said winning streaks don't just happen; some voters make up their minds at the last minute so they can see which way the race is tipping nationally.

'They're not going to go for a loser,' Preston said. 'They didn't want to go and cast their vote for nothing.'"
