How do you know Governor Steve Beshear is in campaign mode and focused mostly on re-election?

Just look at the numbers.

A quick and rough count of press releases from the Governor’s Office in 2010 shows about 240 economic development announcements (and related press conferences) for which he had nothing to do with. That’s just this year. And it’s only July!

In all of 2009 there were just 76 similar press releases.

You’re free to make your own assumptions about what’s going on.
