Fletcher Cleared Again

Once again, the left's attempts to slime Fletcher have failed. The latest attempt was brought to you by Common Cause. They claimed that the Blackberry Fletcher uses was paid for by the Republican party. Therefore it is a campaign contribution and should have been reported to the registry.

Of course the registry board voted 6-1 to throw out the charge due to lack of evidence. Common Cause could not show that the Blackberry was used for campaigning. Therefore it is not an election violation. Nice try guys! Better luck next time.

Downard Stays Competitive With Abramson

Republican Kelly Downard raised $230,000 in a fund raiser yesterday. This money will allow him to make a late push in television advertisement in his attempt to unseat Abramson.

I have been impressed so far with Downard's grass roots efforts. Especially his ability and desire to campaign door to door across the city. Now he has to follow it up with an effective television advertisement campaign to reinforce his message. He is definitely outworking the Abramson campaign. Even so, I don't know if it will be enough to win this fall.

But as long as he can keep the race close, it will make it extremely difficult for Abramson to run for Governor next year. How can he win state wide if he can barely carry Jefferson County? That is good for Kentucky.
