Not surprising....

Democrats have been pumping the corruption/incompetence angle FOR YEARS...

Well, we lost Kentucky but picked up Louisiana. If we lose Mississippi it bodes ill for us in 2008.

Coming in? Well over a third of the state still has the polls open.

Amazing! Calling the election before the polls are closed. I thought that was supposed to stop after what happened in 2000. But it’s an NBC affiliate making the call, so I understand. Although the numbers don’t look good, it ain’t over til it’s over!

He was taken down by the two state-wide papers, which rival anything on either coast in bias. This entire campaign came down to the hiring "scandal," which involved 15 jobs. A special grand jury was convened by the Democrat AG in a county populated by Democrat state workers. That he would be indicted was never in doubt. Reminds me of Libby.

No one had ever been criminally prosecuted under the "political discrimination" statute, so Fletcher moved to dismiss on the grounds of selective prosecution. Produced statistics showing a gross disparity between the percentage of Repbulican residents and Republican state workers. A couple of counties were like 80% Republican residents and 25% of state workers. Clearly this was a result of the Democrats doing for years what Fletcher was accused of, the difference being that it involved thousands of jobs when the Democrats did it vs. 15 for Fletcher (13 alleged improper R hirings or promotions, 2 D demotions or dismissals), and no Democrat was ever prosecuted. The motion was solid, but denied by the Democrat judge (now working for Beshear, if I'm not mistaken), and laughed at by Democrat legal experts invited to write about it in the two rag papers. Honest coverage would have portrayed the entire operation as the political hit it was.

And when he was indicted, one of the two rag papers, the Herald-Leader, posted a pdf of the indictment showing it had been faxed to them by the Democrat AG two weeks beforehand. The press was also calling the administration about subpoenas before they were even served.

In short, he never had a chance. One big reason is that we have no organized alternative media here to get the truth out.

Kentucky has elected an idiot. And the whole state just got dumber. The Rats held on to the Attorney Generals office so now its back to Politics as usual. Corrupt activities start in the planning stages tomorrow. Please pray for Kentucky.

Wasn’t Ernie Fletcher a corrupt RINO? Sounds like the could have gotten someone better to run...
