Governor Abramson???
I guess Abramson doesn't have enough to do running for Mayor of Louisville.
Jerry Abramson is running for re-election as mayor of Louisville.
But he's also taken his campaign on the road this year through Elizabethtown, Richmond, Northern Kentucky, Owensboro and Lexington -- twice.
That type of statewide touring has Democrats talking that maybe Abramson is raising his statewide profile in preparation for a run for statewide office next year.
It appears he is traveling across the state setting up for a possible gubernatorial run. I guess he feels he has the Mayorial campaign wrapped up? His posturing to me seems a bit arrogant considering he is running county wide in a county that has elected a number of Republicans such as Northup, Rebecca Jackson, and Bobbie Holsclaw. I would think it is a bit early to test the waters for Governor until he actually wins this election. Because if he only wins with 55% of the vote he has almost no chance to win the Governorship. He is going to have to win with over 60% to have a legitimate shot at Governor.
Personally, this seems to be exactly what Kelly Downard needs. An entitled mayor who is focused on issues not related to the winning re-election. This race gets more interesting as the days go by.Of course we won't see this article in the Courier Journal because they wouldn't want to sully Abramson's campaign.
