Repub – that only accounts for like 0.05% of the work Greg could have been doing in office. Let’s get real.

Well, if Stumbo had actually done his job instead of trying to run Ernie Fletcher out of office…

How right you are!!

I thought at least a few (that weren’t actually running for a leadership post) had come out in support of one or the other, but I could be getting erroneous info.

I DIDN’T know Rocky had actually come out in support of Jody. Interesting!

A House member PUBLICLY supporting someone? HAHAHA! That would require integrity and balls, something only a few people in the State House happen to possess.

Publicly supporting Stumbo & the hate ticket: Bob Damron, Larry Clark, Jim Gooch, Tommy Thompson, Kelly Flood

Publicly supporting Richards & common sense: Joni Jenkins, John Will Stacy, Rocky Adkins, Mary Lou Marzian and the rest of the folks with a lick of sense.

I’m sure there are a few others. But mostly, no one has the balls to publicly admit who/what they support.

Jake, thank you SO much for that update. I really appreciate you answering my questions and sharing your information!

If you have time for another question, I was wondering if you know and would be able to post a list of the house members that have come out publicly for one speaker candidate or the other.

Jinx – You’re right. Regardless of the crap I give Conway, he was left with a nightmarish situation in the OAG. Primarily because Greg was never at work. There’s only so much your staff can do when you’re not around.

And half the Stumbo appointees were never around. Like Danny Ross. At one point after Danny was moved to the Governor’s office, I called the OAG to speak with him (okay, I confess, it was because I knew the receptionist didn’t know who he was and I wanted to hear it for myself)… and the receptionist had no clue who he was and had never seen him before.

I can just hear CNN in a couple of months from now if Stumbo gets it. Kentucky will be the laughing stock of the nation just like Illinois. Thats even if just half of the crap being publicly stated about Stumbo is true.

And I don’t see any libel suits by Stumbo to prove otherwise. Nor any other Stumbo public statements counteracting whats been said about him.

No wonder Conway is over his head with the mess left to him by Stumbo in the Attorney Generals office.
