But he is a "KY Democrat," which in KY does not mean "LIBERAL," as the Kentuckians tell us. Republicans have not won the governorship since 1967. The last GOP governor was caught up in his own scandals and supported a Democrat plan to include grocery foods and prescription medicines in the state sales tax. Since then KY has said "No Thanks" to GOP gubernatorial nominees. A later Democrat governor (was it Julian Carroll?) got the tax on groceries and prescription drugs repealed. People in KY associate the Republicans with "the rich," when it comes to the governorship. In 1987, the Republican gubernatorial nominee, John Harper, actually ran on a platform of higher taxes and was crushed. KY even has a tax on one's out-of-state investment, paid to the county sheriff.

Louie Nunn was the last GOP GUV. But, I think you're a little off track. Nunn repealed the tax on food and medicine and instituted the nickel gas tax. Hence, the nickname Nickel Nunn. The reason we haven't had any GOP governor's is the unholy alliance of state contractors being able to contribute to campaigns.

We'd had a GOP GOV in 1999, but that buttplug McConnell cut a deal so he wouldn't have competition this year. Thanks, McFraud.
