Cowardly Ben Takes a Break
Well, that's one fewer loser in the dem primaries in 2014 and 2015.
Benny the Third never did have the passion for politics that his grandaddy Happy had, much less his deft touch. Maybe Benny's loss to a repug challenger in a blue district was enough of a humiliation to spring him from the family business.
Jack Brammer at the Herald:
Former U.S. Rep. Ben Chandler accepted the post of executive director of the Kentucky Humanities Council on Friday, saying he will "take a break from politics for a while."
Chandler, a Woodford County Democrat who lost his 6th Congressional District seat last year to Republican Andy Barr of Lexington, will start his new job July 1. He succeeds Virginia G. Carter, who is retiring after leading the council since 1989.
Chandler, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate for governor in 2015, said he is focused on succeeding in his new job. Still, he declined to rule out a future run for political office, although he said he was "in no hurry to get back into that arena."
