Is This The Best the Democrats Have to Offer?
I was reading the Lexington Herald's coverage of the 2nd Senate District race in Kentucky. This race is interesting because it is a three way race between independent State Senator Leeper, Republican Neil Archer, and Democrat Carroll Hubbard. Wait a second. Carroll Hubbard????
The last time we heard from Mr Hubbard, he was resigning his congressional seat to spend two years in federal prison for campaign violations. Now he is seeking "redemption" by running in the 2nd District seat.
So the best the Democrats have to offer in Western Kentucky is a former felon? The cupboards must really be bare in the Democratic pantry if they have to recycle this guy in an attempt to pick up a senate seat. And people think Republicans have problems with Fletcher? The Dems can't even field a candidate without a criminal record. And a criminal record for crimes committed the last time he held political office to boot.
Now wonder the Republicans think they have a chance to win this seat.
