As we saw yesterday, 4 former KY governors endorsed Hillary Clinton for President: including Paul Patton and John Y. Brown.
As the elitist Mark Hebert notes, what's more interesting is the name that is missing, that of our first female governor, Martha Lane Collins.
But Hebert misses the most glaring omission, however: that of Brereton Jones, who is close to Steve Beshear. Could Brereton's reluctance also signal reluctance on the part of Beshear?
Whereas the Lundergan-Governors John Y. Brown and Paul Patton are falling in line between the eventual-loser Hillary Clinton, there is a great opportunity for Steve Beshear to step away from the old guard of Lundercrooks and take a step towards the future of the Democratic Party: Barack Obama.
Many have credited the failure of the current legislative session to Beshear surrounding himself with the old guard Democrats. Wouldn't it send a great message if he turned his back on this crowd and joined the new vanguard of Democrats along with John Yarmuth, Ben Chandler and Dan Mongiardo?
How about it Steve? Would you like to join and score big points with the new wave of Democrats all over this state that reject the Lundergan-era Good ole' boys?
(and I echo Stephen Shepard's sentiments)
