Rep Ernie Fletcher, big-haired Ky Republican is running for governor.

He has big money and powerful backers like the drug companies, the religious zealots, and Mitch McConnell.

So for a fair and balanced look at Ernie, I present this illustration by Joel Pett

:kick: :nuke:
Must have been something I ate.

2. So, how IS his hair?

Is it comparable to the industry standard exemplified by Rick Perry?

Or does he take a more traditional approach, a la Trent "Helmet" Lott?

3. Fletcher's campaign ads are starting to piss me off.

He seems like a smarmy, lying piece of dung. He uses all the GOP code-words when he speaks. Trying to pass himself off as another "compassionate conservative" and as someone who wants to "change the tone in Frankfort."

4. Fletcher's hair is standard issue TV evangelist. bombproof.

The TV ads by the party attack dogs are offensive, and so it Fletchers reluctance to do anything about them. "Oh I can't tell them what to do." wink wink

he will push his hardline christian agenda on Kentucky, but even worse, he will push the big business agenda. I don't like his attitude toward KERA. KERA is working, but Fletcher will try to scrap it and replace it with Bush LNCB disaster.

7. Vegas Odds Are 15 to 14 For Fletcher

Another thing that will hurt is Dem Gov Paul Patton getting caught cheating on his wife last year.
