Former Courier-Journal political writer Al Cross has it right. He says Steve Pence is carrying the message to Ernie Fletcher that nearly every other high-ranking Republican in Kentucky wants to send..."it's over, get out of the 2007 Governor's race."

Who says politics and the judiciary don't mix? Certainly not folks who are watching the race for State Supreme Court Justice in Louisville. It's a doozy with a dose of Fletcher, flip-flopping and friendships thrown into the gooey mix.

This isn't really a news item. It's just bizarre enough to make a good political blog story.

Those of you who see Governor Fletcher's public schedule probably didn't notice his meeting with the Kentucky Auto Dealers on his May 17th schedule. That's because it wasn't on the Gov's public schedule.

Smart politicians rarely take a public stand in primary races of their own party. Too messy. Ticks off too many people. So what's Congressman Ben Chandler doing supporting Carol Angel's ill-fated challenge to powerful Fayette County Clerk Don Blevins?

Dr. Judith Green is a Democrat who was running for a Metro Council seat in Louisville. On her campaign finance report, she listed an expense that raised my eyebrow......Denise Bentley - $500 - "consulting services".

Whoo Hoo!!!! Talk about entertainment!!! The Kentucky Attorney General's race in 2007 has an interesting twist, if Erwin Roberts decides to run. Roberts is Governor Fletcher's personnel secretary. He's quitting in June to join a Louisville law firm. That's not the story. The story is that Roberts is an African-American Republican who's already had run-ins with Greg Stumbo, the Fletcher administration's chief nemesis.

UofL President Jim Ramsey's angry response to Governor Fletcher's vetoes of four university construction projects may have been over the top, but he's got some Republican heavyweights in his corner. And that could be bad news for Governor Fletcher.

Steve Henry is running for Governor. Don't let him tell you otherwise, though you can check out the video of how he answered questions about a gubernatorial campaign on the WHAS11.com website, in the politics section.
