Third Democratic Challenger for Candy Barr

Another repug-lite non-liberal who would give Barr an easy slide to re-election in KY-6.  Sigh.

From the AP:

Lexington businessman Joe Palumbo, head of a lumber and building supply company, released a statement Thursday saying he wants to fight partisan gridlock that is holding the country and central Kentucky back.

Already, Lexington businesswoman and education advocate Elisabeth Jensen has said she intends to run and has hired political consultants in preparation for a race. A third Democrat, Lexington attorney Michael Coblenz, also has said he intends to run.

Just a reminder, kids: Four-term Democratic incumbent Ben Chandler lost to Candy in a more-Democratic district because his repug-lite campaign kept Democratic voters too discouraged and disgusted to bother to vote.

A Democratic candidate could beat Candy easily. The question is whether one will run.
