Jack Conway is expected to meet with State Treasurer Jonathan Miller over the weekend. How about a Conway-Miller "young democrats for the future" ticket? Well, a spokesman for Miller says the treasurer is not interested in being Lt. Governor but is seriously considering a run for governor. How about a Miller-Conway ticket?

Then early next week, Conway is meeting again with Brereton Jones. It appears Jerry Abramson's folks, who were pushing the mayor to run for governor, are now spinning reporters and Conway on the idea that he should run. And they're not the only ones. Some of the self proclaimed "good government" folks are worried about Jones' fixation on casino gambling and the possibility that his administration could be corrupted by it.
Jones supporters say he ran an administration that was "scandal free". That's not exactly true....remember the P.I.E. campaign donations? And the questions about the Breeders Award program. Jones says P.I.E. got nothing for its money and all of the Breeders Awards he received were given to charity. But any opponent will hammer him on those and other deals during his administration. In other words, it looks like a Jones-Conway ticket may be on the ropes, maybe not because of anything they're doing or not doing, but because of all spin doctors working both men. And forget the rumors you hear that Ben Chandler is still considering a race for governor. Even though it's as close to a sure victory as any candidate will get, Chandler loves his job, his time with his family and the prospect of running for U.S. Senate in a couple of years.
