The Nation features Kentucky activists in cover story

The October issue of the liberal magazine The Nation features a story titled "Kentucky at War." The piece chronicles Kentucky's anti-war movement and its mission of unseating U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., in 2008.

Several Kentucky natives -- including Jim Pence, Matt Gunterman and Shawn Dixon -- who operate liberal blogs are featured prominently in the lengthy cover story.

The article gives their blogs credit for having "inspirited Kentucky activists" and "pushed the state's more established media to take notice of the progressive groundswell."
