Well, I may have the sequence of events confused. I do recall Walter D. Huddleston, who defeated former Governor Nunn for the Senate in 1972 (the same day as the Nixon landslide) used the issue of a tax on food and prescription drugs AGAINST Nunn. Nunn narrowly lost that Senate race. Ironically, on the same night, another "Nunn," Sam Nunn, was elected senator in GA. At any rate, Nunn was discredited, and Kentuckians also vetoed his gubernatorial comeback attempt in 1979. Who is running against McConnell this year? I had forgotten that his seat is up for election.
I would imagine that Henry will be the next governor, as the tradition of Democrat governors in now stronger in KY than it is in AR, LA, MS, and AL.

Not Henry, Chandler will be the next Governor.

Lois Weinberg. Too liberal, too flaky.
