12:01 am, Governor Steve Beshear
2007-12-11 02:33:00 At 12:01am we will have a new Governor! I expect great things from this administration and have no doubts! From WYMT Beshear, who becomes the state's 61st governor, was to be swornin early Tuesday by Supreme Court Justice Mary C. Noble, who willadminister Kentucky's traditional and archaic constitutional oath.That oath requires Beshear to swear that he has never fought a duelwith deadly weapons, a holdover from Kentucky's frontier days.Beshear's first official act is expected be the signing of anexecutive order appointing Brig. Gen. Edward W. Tonini as adjutantgeneral for the Kentucky National Guard, spokeswoman Vicki Glasssaid. That move satisfies a constitutional mandate that the jobnever go unfilled.
Gubernatorial Watch: Rankings
2007-11-20 06:33:00 The 2007 elections earlier this month took the top two seats off the board, with Democrat Steve Beshear knocking off Ernie Fletcher in Kentucky and Republican Bobby Jindal picking up the open seat in Louisiana, both in convincing fashion. Those results, along with Republican Haley Barbour's re-election in Mississippi ensured that Democrats would maintain their 28-22 majority heading into 2008, when 11 seats are up for grabs. Only a handful of those seats appear competitive at this point, so don't expect significant changes in landscape next year.1. Missouri (Blunt-R) [3]: At least one recent poll shows that Democratic Attorney General Jay Nixon (right) has pulled ahead of Republican Governor Matt Blunt. Trailing at this point is not a good sign for Blunt, the nation's youngest governor, who is seeking his second term. Blunt won narrowly in 2004 and his approval ratings are less than stellar. Look for another close race in 2008, which could be affected by the presidential rac...

Election 2007: Results Coming In
2007-11-07 06:01:00 The biggest prizes in the 2007 election season were the governor's offices in Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The Louisiana contest was settled weeks ago, with Republican Congressman Bobby Jindal avoiding a runoff to capture the seat for his party. Jindal's victory came as little surprise, with incumbent Kathleen Blanco so tarnished by Hurricane Katrina that she didn't seek re-election and Democrats failing to field a top tier challenger.The results in Mississippi and Kentucky have been just as apparent for months. Polling has shown Democrat Steve Beshear holding leads of 15-20 points over Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher. With 99.9% of the precincts reporting, Beshear has become the next governor of Kentucky, winning 59%-41%. In Mississippi, Republican Governor Haley Barbour, one of the few politicians to escape the Katrina situation with a stronger reputation, was never seriously challenged by conservative Democrat John Arthur Eaves in his bid for a second term.

Ad Wars: Richardon's New Ad
2007-10-30 21:49:00 Bill RichardsonThe Richardson has an impressive new ad airing in Iowa today. In the ad, "When I Began," Richardson does an excellent job of laying out his platform, his record, and appeals to the average American. Richardson closes by saying, "I'm sure not the best looking or the flashiest, but I know who I am and I know how hard I'll work for you." The Richardson campaign has produced some of the best television advertisements of this cycle. His early ads were humorous, got him attention, and raised his profile and polling, while his two recent ads have shown Richardson's serious side and made him seem more presidential.Kentucky Gubernatorial RaceHere's the most recent ad from Democrat Steve Beshear. With just a week left before voters head to the polls, Beshear still holds a sizable lead over Republican incumbent Ernie Fletcher.
