FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Conway Engaged in "Extreme Makeover"

Previously Said He Was "Preferred Candidate of National Democratic Party,"

Now Claims to Be "Independent Democrat"

FRANKFORT --- During a press conference this morning at the state capitol, Jack Conway attempted to reinvent himself as an "independent Democrat" when over the past year Conway has repeatedly promoted himself as the "preferred candidate of the national Democratic Party."

Kim Geveden, spokesman for Democratic Lt. Governor Daniel Mongiardo's U.S. Senate Campaign called Conway's performance, "a cynical attempt to reinvent himself."

Geveden said, "Jack Conway has no shame. For the last year Jack has promoted himself as 'the candidate preferred by the National Democratic Party.' He has even printed fundraising invitations touting 'National Congressional leaders' as his special guests. Now - he suddenly appears before reporters this morning and claims he is an 'independent-minded' Democrat who will take on Washington's establishment insiders. Kentucky voters won't be fooled by Jack Conway's extreme political makeover."

"Jack Conway maybe a smooth talking politician, but Democratic voters deserve a candidate who gives straight answers, not someone who reinvents himself because of the changing political winds," said Geveden.
