CBS News Logo Did Alison Lundergan Grimes vote for Obama?
Alison Lundergan Grimes, a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky, has emphasized her differences with President Obama on the campaign trail, pitching herself as an independent voice for a state in which the president is deeply unpopular. But when Grimes was asked on Thursday during an interview with the Louisville Courier-Journal editorial board whether she voted for Mr. Obama in 2008 and 2012, she repeatedly declined to answer the question. "This election isn't about the president, it's about making sure we put Kentuckians back to work," she said. Pressed on the issue, Grimes emphasized her ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton, who are considerably more popular than the president in the Bluegrass State.

Gallery: Horse trail construction underway at Enterprise South Nature Park Hamilton County's first horse-only public trail system is under construction and expected to open this spring at Enterprise South Nature Park. The contractor, North Carolina-based Trail Dynamics, has completed more than 3.5 miles of the 10-mile system. An exact opening date has not been determined but is expected to be in the coming months. "The addition of the equestrian trails at Enterprise South is another important piece of infrastructure for our community," Outdoor Chattanooga Executive Director Philip Grimes said. "Easy access to the natural environment and recreation resources is what separates Chattanooga from all other outdoor cities." The trails were planned for the property years ago before the land was transferred to the city and county in 2004 after being used as an ammunition plant.
