… “presumtive run for” senator, not “governor” …

Coffee break!

Among all the amusings of their joint appearance, my favorite was when Beshear said Abramson easily could have won another term.

I suppose we should all thank him for selflessly sacrificing the cakewalk!

Image-wise, I noticed how much Abramson dwarfs Beshear.

It seemed like an ironic omen, ‘cuz it’s not going to be easy for Jerry to downsize himself into a second banana — not after starring in the title role as in-your-face autocrat here at home.

If the demographics of the General Assembly are any indication, a too old, rich, white and male ticket probably won’t bother most Kentucky voters — especially if the GOP serves up the same.

But I don’t see a strong Republican ticket on the horizon.

Maybe Trey Grayson would consider shifting gears to the gubernatorial race. By opting out of his presumptive run for governor, he would fulfill Jim Bunning’s wettest dream: to stay in the contest, lose to Conway and bitch-slap McConnell with the loss of a Republican Senate seat — in his own backyard!

It would be the ultimate beanball — with a Shakespearean twist.

Ahhhh … Kentucky politics … The Greatest Show on Earth.

I’m depressed because I would’ve liked to have seen Beshear choose someone with more credibility. The two of them standing together remind me of Abbot and Costello…not in a good way.

Those alligator shirts are so 1980s preppie.

They had to use a fisheye lens to get Jerry’s head completely in the frame.

Not just a green polo… but a $120 Lacoste polo.

They need a new image consultant – Jerry should have had on a business shirt just like Breshear. Really, the green polo to try not to look like a city slicker? Doesn’t work.

Jerry looks tired. He looks like he’s ready to sit back and play second banana and rest up for his next big move. He definitely does not look like the energetic partner who Breshear proclaims to want or KY needs!

This is not a Louisville ticket. Louisville doesn’t want Jerry – which is why he’s so obviously jumped and almost pulled a Palin.
