According to reports today, Stumbo is going to stop shooting the Governor in the front, but Republican officials have declared they are not going to stop shooting the Governor in the back.
Those Disloyalists. They're so hard to please.
Bill Stone, former Jefferson County Republican Chairman, asked a great question in his radio debate with Jack Richardson, current Jefferson County Republican Chairman and one of the leaders of the Disloyalists. The debate took place on the other day on Front Page with Sue Wiley in Lexington. "What are you going to do," asked Stone, "if Gov. Fletcher wins the Republican nomination? Are you going to support him?"
Richardson tried to dance around an answer, but finally said he would.
Then Stone ran him all the way through: "Are you going to have any credibility at that point?"
Of course, Richardson couldn't answer this one. But this is the position Republican officials find themselves in: they digging themselves a hole they will not be able to dig themselves out of.
Behind all this is the Republican puppetmaster himself: Mitch McConnell. If this is a display of his fabled political skills, there may have to be a reassessment when this is all over.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
So you're condemning Fletcher for making what you claim are "outrageous" personal attacks on others, but it's okay for others to make personal attacks on Fletcher?
