Mike Weaver, failed candidate for congress and state treasurer, has filed for his old State House seat. Mark Hebert reports that Weaver says he’s running for state office again because he’s too old to serve in the military. If Weaver has a gay campaign manager this time, will he allow him to produce weird gay-baiting/gay-hating campaign commercials at the last minute and then refuse to return contributions to pissed off people in Louisville? [Hebert]

Even more on the decision by the Most Reverend Ron Lewis to drop out of KY-02′s House race so he could coronate his chief of staff. But the NRSC will have none of that business, boys and girls. No sir. Reverend Ron is a bad, bad boy.[H-L]

Bruce Lunsford is still saying he’s afraid of the millionaires’ amendment and won’t contribute more than $560,000 of his own money toward the senate race. Isn’t that something we brought up a few weeks ago with Fischer? And you wonder why we say these rich guys are ineffective. [C-J]

Greg Fischer attacks Bruce Lunsford in an email “interview” with the AIPAC blogger. Check it out: “One thing is for sure, you’ll never see me on YouTube with Mitch McConnell and Ernie Fletcher :)” [Solzman]

And in case you weren’t paying attention, the state house passed an ethics bill. David Williams says the senate will make the bill stronger. So. We’re waiting to see if public trust is ever restored in gubmint. Are you holding your breath? [C-J]

Oh, and the bully bill passed. No one paid attention. It requires all schools to develop reporting and punishment programs for bullying in school. Hebert reminds readers that the bill was a failure in 2006 because everyone was afraid the gays would use provisions to punish some fringe Christian students who believe we should burn in hell for our sins, etc. [Hebert]

Mitch McConnell is screwing up the FEC. After weeks of bitching and moaning he’s obstructing up/down votes on potential nominees. Isn’t this what we’ve come to expect from Kentucky’s senator? He wouldn’t be so hated if he didn’t pull idiotic crap like this all the time. [NYT]

Andrew Horne’s campaign releases limited information about his stances on issues including gun ownership, jobs, social security and the economy. It seems only a fringe candidate on the Democratic side seems to understand the importance of making positions public. [Horne Camp]
