Jonathan Miller Quits,

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle.

This is twice in two consecutive governor's races that my preferred candidate dropped out within weeks of the election. What gives?

I could see dropping out two or three months before the primary, but damn. The election is two weeks away. You hate Steve Henry and Bruce Lunsford so bad that you alienate your supporters? I can't say that I was a fanatic about your candidacy, but you were the only one I could stand to look at and listen to. I hate political calculating.

Ironically, Bruce Lunsford, who has done well in recent polling, was the last candidate to do this to me. Of course, you are supporting Steve Beshear which is a little better than Lunsford's endorsement of Jody Richards, and a hell of alot better than his eventual endorsement of Ernie Fletcher in 2003. I will consider Mr. Beshear, but like many of your supporters, feel unimpressed or disgusted with the rest of the Democratic field.

Again, I am left disillusioned. Don't make me root for Anne Northup!

Hello World!

I've just awoken from a three-year coma induced by the 2004 Presidential Primary, and I see that we have a lovely new slate of candidates to choose from. Oh, and I heard that in my slumber Democrats regained control of Congress. But we're still in Iraq? Oh well, give 'em time. They're not used to having this kind of power.

I haven't made up my mind about the Democratic candidates, yet. They do, however, appear stronger than the Republican choices. We'll just have to wait and see. Kentucky is having a governor's race this year which will probably take up the majority of my blog until primary time (May 22nd). So far, I like Jonathan Miller for the nomination, so that means he has a snowball's chance in Hell of actually getting it.

So until next time...
