Kentucky: David Williams

Bob Layton has the goods on the next possible move by Beshear to electorally castrate David Williams:
The speculation this summer had been swirling as well that Republican State Senator Tom Buford could similarly seek a higher position within the administration of Governor Steve Beshear. Since then, of course, Buford attended the Beshear-Abramson fundraiser at Nicholasville Republican R. J. Corman’s business location in Nicholasville, and both he and his wife have each contributed the maximum $1,000 contribution to Beshear’s re-election campaign.

None of this speculation comes from any source inside the Beshear adminstration, so it may be as accurate as predictions of the U.

Step #1: Mike Reynolds shocks the state with a blowout victory in the 32nd District Special Senate election in February.
Step #2: Beshear starts to show the first sign of political acumen and cutthroat will to match that of David Williams: deciding to start appointing Republican State Senators to positions and take on David Williams' majority and leadership position. He appoints Sen. Charlie Borders to the KY Public Service Commission, and Democrat Robin Webb wins a slim victory in the special election.
And now... welcome to step #3: Beshear is set to give Republican State Senator Dan Kelly a judicial appointment, setting the stage for yet another special election that could put David Williams one step closer to the minority.
Cutthroat competence from Steve Beshear? Yes, its been way too long of a wait, but I could get used to more of this.

Seriously boys and girls, you know I love you, and I can't say how happy it makes me to have one less follower of David Williams in the Senate... but can we not use a campaign slogan popularized by Jesse Helms next time?
I know, I know. You didn't mean it like Helms did, Ditty wasn't a "good" target for it, and it worked... But we can do better.
While we're at it...can we dump the dixiecrat rooster, too?
Thanks.

Today's the day-- if you live in the 18th, go vote!
Keep your fingers crossed, folks-- a low-turnout special election in Eastern Kentucky in August of an off year just might deal a fatal blow to David Williams' control of the Senate.
