University of Kentucky basketball icon Richie Farmer is considering running for governor on the Republican ticket.
Farmer told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he has been in discussions about a possible run and may do some political polling in the near future.
Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear is the only major candidate who has entered the race so far. He has chosen Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson as his running mate.

Have the disgruntled voters forgotten about the continuous back lash to Fletcher?
This is one thing Farmer will have to contend with if he is to make an honest run instead of a Cameo appearnence.
The gambling issue has become so decisive in Kentucky that a portion of the Democrats would vote for another candidate over Steve Beshear. This administration has been obsessed with extended gambling as if the money they project from gambling will not cover the next budget.
This Governor has already spent over $750 Million dollars of one time stimulus money.
And from a Democratic President where Steve Beshear was nowhere to be found during the campaign. Wonder if Obama voters will remember that?
KEEP says extended gambling with bring about $500 Million to the state treasurer.
Now, if the KEEP ORGANIZATON convinces Beshear to divide the money with the HORSIE SET then where is Kentucky generating enough money to even match the $750 Million, Three quarters of a billion, to plug the hole the stimulus money generated?
There is a lot more to getting Kentucky on the RIGHT TRACK and not on THE HORSE TRACK.
I wonder with this strong action by our Governor is he polarizing our citizens that have just heard enough about MONEY AND HORSES?
Without adequate, intelligent tax reform Kentucky will be in worst condition next budget than they are now.
Seems like a puppy chasing his tail. But what does he do , if he catches it.
