Welcome Governor-elect, Steve Beshear!
Kentucky voters on Tuesday dumped scandal-stained Republican Gov. Ernie Fletcher, electing Democrat Steve Beshear, while Mississippi Republican Gov. Haley Barbour coasted to re-election.
With all precincts reporting, Beshear, a former state attorney general and lieutenant governor, had 59 percent of the vote to 41 percent for Fletcher, who had trailed badly in pre-election polls following a hiring scandal.
With any luck, this is the start of a trend. Gee, maybe every Democratic candidate should solicit the support of gay organizations!
