from the daily kos....

ok, so it is always amusing to read about the homestate on a national blog.....here from today's daily kos......

A couple of high-level sources have filled in some back story on indicted Governor Fletcher's (R) political Armageddon. There are plenty of holes, but here's some of what I'm piecing together.

Senator McConnell (R) recently held a meeting with the Kentucky's Republican federal delegation in his Capitol hide-away office to discuss the Fletcher situation and believes that Fletcher must remove himself from re-election consideration before the June 7th arraignment. Otherwise, McConnell is gravely concern about holding on to the state Senate as well as Rep. Geoff Davis' (R) congressional seat [...]

I'm told that McConnell is prepared to concede the 2007 race to Rep. Ben Chandler (D) provided he can hold on to the state senate, which is the main source of fundraising for the Kentucky Republican Party.
