Charlie Owen is headed to D.C. this week to meet with the top two democratic big shots that will decide who runs and doesn't run for U.S. Senate next year.
Here's the story we're running at 5:30 today on WHAS11 News.
ONE DAY AFTER THE 2007 PRIMARY RACE --- CANDIDATES ARE LINING UP FOR 2008.
WHAS ELEVEN NEWS HAS LEARNED LOUISVILLE BUSINESSMAN CHARLIE OWEN IS MEETING THURSDAY WITH U.S. SENATE LEADER HARRY REID AND SENATOR CHARLES SCHUMER OF NEW YORK.
OWEN'S POLITICAL ADVISOR SAYS THE THREE MEN WILL DISCUSS THE PROSPECT OF OWEN RUNNING AGAINST KENTUCKY SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL NEXT YEAR.
OWEN HAS LOST PREVIOUS RACES FOR CONGRESS AND U.S. SENATE.
One Republican source close to MicConnell says background checkers from the Republican Senate Campaign Committee are already on the ground in Arizona and Kentucky, checking Owen's business dealings. There's also been some talk of trying to draft Greg Stumbo to run against McConnell.
