As you know by know, the LT Governor (Dr. Dan) announced his intentions to run for the U.S. Senate, which could be a rematch of the 2004 senatorial race. This news has been big news on the national political blogs (The Hill, Real Clear Politics, and The Daily Kos). Looks like Kentucky will be a senatorial battleground in 2010.
Today’s rumor mill also is spinning a story that another A- list candidate for that position met with the DSCC last week. This candidate brought along key political advisors. Hmmmmmmmmm!
Maybe this person was just visiting old friends during Inauguration Week 2008.
Back to a more supportable tidbit:
Benham Sims told me that he was not interested in becoming the U.S. Attorney for the Western Kentucky District. He was flattered by the press attention on this matter.
I have also been told the David Kaplan plans to go back to work for Brown, Frost, and Todd. He might not then want to be the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern Kentucky District.
Adam Edelen has seemingly weathered the political storm. Bluegrass Politics reported that Edelen can sell his condominium to a lobbyist. I’m happy to see that Adam is out of trouble. He is a good person.
