Governor:
Governor Ernie Fletcher v. Steve Beshear - in spite of my wife's crush on Beshear's running mate, Dan Mongiardo, I am going to have to go with the incumbent. Frankly, Beshear and Mongiardo just give me the heebie-jeebies--would one of you answer a question, any question, please.
Attorney General:
Jack Conway v. Stan Lee - Stan Lee's mustache is AWESOME! I can only hope that he will win and thereby inspire scores of Kentucky men to sport the Magnum P.I. look once again. I just wish he would do one campaign commercial sitting in a Ferarri 308GT.
Secretary of State:
Bruce Hendrickson v. Trey Grayson - I thought Condoleezza Rice was appointed by the president? So confused.
State Auditor:
Crit Luallen v. Linda Greenwell - Here is proof that the lottery didn't help education (nor will legalized gambling in casinos): What the heck is a state auditor? Since both candidates lack mustache appeal I must go on the issues. The main issue is this: It it just plain fun to say "Luallen." Come on try it...."Luallen." Priceless. I would give anything if her first name were "Suellen."
State Treasurer:
Todd Hollenbach v. Melinda Wheeler - Remember when Fayette Mall had a drug store in it? It was called Treasury Drugs. It was so handy. It was right across from York Steak House. I loved Yorks, great cheesecake. Now my favorite drug store is Wheeler Pharmacy, great cheeseburgers. There you have it...Melinda Wheeler for State Treasurer.

Commissioner of Agriculture:
David Lynn Williams v. Richie Farmer - While I generally can't vote against a three-named
candidate Richie's got Stan Lee Appeal. The 'stache trumps 3-names any day.
There you go. I have done the research so you don't have to.

you'd better recant from the crush statement...i want a correction added
A POST!!! I'm so excited!! I will have to admit that John gets mad at me, because I once winked at Mongiardo ;-) It was completely involuntary I promise!
yes!!!!! someone who remembers treasury drugs and york steakhouse. when i was kid, many a sunday lunch was spent at york steakhouse. that was followed by a trip to the treasury drug candy aisle with my grandfather.
let's allow the memories to keep flowing... when i was about 5, my family and i were standing in line at york steakhouse (that would have been about 1977). a long-haired, freaky-looking person got in line directly behind us. i turned to my mom and said (probably loudly... what other volume is there at 5?), "Is that guy a hippie?" My mom looked embarrassed and gave me the "Sssshhhhhh!" The guy just smiled.
okay...is it only me who notices that Mongiardo's accent thickens in ads directed towards farmers,etc. IT DRIVES ME NUTS...and I do not have a crush on him although if Nate keeps it up he is starting to look a little better...
as long as were strolling down fayette mall memory lane...what about Thornbury's, the coolest toy store ever where you could only look but not touch cause they had the most expensive toys on the planet...
As a political nerd, I just want to inform your readers that, David Lynn Williams, Commissioner of Agriculture candidate, answered my survey the following way for his educational background: "I was kicked out of 3rd grade for not shaving."
Though I do so painstakingly, I will be voting for Richie Farmer. Just wish he'd talk more about farming than his days of playing UK basketball .
P.S. Tell Betty she is too old for Dr. Dan.
I love how a serious political discussion has sparked reflections of Fayette Mall. When I was a junior in high school my friends and I left school early and rushed to the mall because we had heard that the faucets in the newly added food court worked automatically, no handles. We had to see to believe.
Is it wrong that we are going to have a Lt. Governor that I would be scared for my daughter to meet.
Dan Mongiardo meet Chris Hansen.
Dave, I miss me some York's. I always got #4 - the steakburger and fries.
p.s.
sfost, glad you're back.
P.s.s.
What is the deal with Bridger flirting with Dayun Monjardeau and my wife having the hots for his accent?
Nope, not allowed to date Dr. Dan...I'm too old for him as well...although he is single again. Allie broke off the engagement a couple of weeks ago. Hmmm.
It must have been too hard for her to juggle planning a wedding and being on teen-board all at the same time.
I am a 30-something "lurker" (creepy huh??) You're blog is so much fun!! I might have to defect (Patrick will divorce me....oh! I have said too much!!)
PS - Dan Mongiardo reminds me of "Monk".
Mongiardo does look like Monk!
p.s. EIV welcomes all defectors.
p.s.s your group at Judgement House was unreal!
Tis me...s.b.! Foshizzle. (hope I didn't offend anyone because I have NO idea what that actually means!!). JH was an incredible experience. Just our group was a mini-revival. I am still so charged up about it! Can't wait to hear all the stories on Sunday!
