Pence: Fletcher should rethink re-election bid

Why doesn't this guy (Fletcher) get it? Steve Pence is right. Applause at recent functions has been for civility only. Nobody wants this guy around for four more years. If he runs in May, he'll face a thorough butt whooping in November and he'll likely take some Republicans down with him.

As it is, I'm inclined to vote for Jefferson County Circuit Judge Ann O'Malley Shake over William E. McAnulty due to the big extravaganza Fletcher saw fit to throw (at taxpayer expense) for his swearing-in ceremony and just the simple fact McAnulty saw fit to take an appointment from Fletcher as a means to get his foot in the door.

His experience alone would have been sufficient to likely win him the seat but now I see McAnulty as being tainted. What if Kentucky's Supreme Court has to rule on some aspect of Fletcher's indictment or the other resulting issues??? I'm tired of pompous elected officials and Judge McAnulty seems to be one of them.

One word "ARROGANCES"

The shame of all of this is, he did not do anything that other Governors have done in the past. It is hard to run a government with people appointed by the opposing forces in places of control.
WRONG, yes on both sides. However Fletcher is paying for the sins of his forebears, and we should remember that.
The people who lost jobs for the most part got their jobs from Democratic Governors and from Democratic patronage.
This is not an excuse. Fletcher promised us change. Change is NOT easy when the opposition is in charge of putting Republican Plans into operation. So he fell into the same trap the Democrats have used for years.
I am a Democrat.
