GOP L.G. to Run for the Top Job?

News out
of Frankfort, KY: 

Citing
continuing concern among Republicans about the political strength of the
governor, Lt. Gov. Steve Pence said he's now “very seriously
considering” challenging his boss and former running mate, Ernie Fletcher,
next year.

“I
think people in the party are looking for an alternative if the governor
continues to run” for re-election, Pence said in an interview with the
Herald-Leader. “That's why I'm going to give serious consideration to
being that alternative.”

For a little background
– check out our earlier
posting here.

Now – the GOP L.G…
“…said he probably
won’t make a decision on running in next year’s gubernatorial race
until this year’s elections are decided.  Pence, a first-term
Louisville Republican, is not seeking re-election with Gov. Ernie Fletcher.
Instead, Pence has said he may challenge Fletcher in next year’s GOP primary.”

Which is all very well and
good. 

Pence broke with Fletcher earlier
this year when the governor was embroiled in a criminal investigation into his
administration’s hiring practices.

Pence was not implicated in the
probe by Attorney General Greg Stumbo, a Democrat who also may run for governor.

And as an added bonus – apparently Pence is taking a hard look at
the A.G. slot as well – wonder if that’s against the incumbent
Democrat Stumbo, or for an open seat.
