Jody Richards, D-Bowling Green, to choose between running for re-election as Speaker of the House or running for governor. That apparently wasn’t a problem this year, as Richards was easily re-elected and then filed as a candidate in the Democratic primary for governor.

When it comes to the Republican presidential field, a similar strategy of waiting may prove fruitful for Rudolph Giuliani.

For a while – as various Democrats on the “A-List” publicly declined to run – it seemed few were interested in the office.

B. “Happy” Chandler, Ned Breathitt, Wendell Ford, and Julian Carroll. The area bounded by Bowling Green in the south, Owensboro in the north and Paducah in the west was once solidly Democratic and key to any statewide Democratic candidate’s prospects.

That’s just the parking spot, folks.

A.B. “Happy” Chandler, Bert Combs, Wendell Ford, Wallace Wilkinson, and Paul Patton positively lusted for the chance. So did Republican Louie B. Nunn.Ben Chandler, in announcing he won’t run – at least in 2007, offered some insights about why the job may not be so alluring as it once was.

But perhaps a surer sign they are worried is the saturation of tough, negative ads in nearly every campaign.
