Looks like Henry is in

Lt. Governor Steve Henry is likely a candidate for the 2007 elections as a governor. Rumor has it that State Senate Minority Whip Joey Pendleton is his running mate. An announcement will be made in Novemmber, and sources close to The Kentucky Democrat are saying it may be made on November 9th.

In a few short weeks, we will know for sure who is in and who is out. I'll be following the 2007 races closely. So far, the 2007 rumored candidates can be found here.

Geoff Davis needs to get his facts straightened out. Davis is now saying he transposed the numbers in his head. Yea right.

Former Congressman Carroll Hubbard is looking for a second chance in his bid for a seat in the state senate.

Hubbard asked former Gov. Paul Patton to reinstate his civil rights in 2000, at the time claiming he had "no intention of seeking public office again." Less than a month later, Patton gave Hubbard back his rights to vote and hold public office. The Kentucky Supreme Court reinstated Hubbard to legal practice the following year.

Patton, also a Democrat, said he restored Hubbard's voting rights because he believes people who completed their sentences should be allowed a chance to become responsible citizens.

"People know what Carroll Hubbard did," Patton said. "His record is pretty open and if they want to elect him to represent them again I think it would be perfectly appropriate."

The Democrats have a strong chance of taking back the United States Senate in November. It will be very close though.

Democrats in the past two weeks have significantly improved their chances of taking control of the Senate, according to polls and independent analysts, with the battle now focused intensely on three states in the Midwest and upper South: Missouri, Tennessee and Virginia.

Democratic challengers are in strong positions against GOP incumbents in four states -- Pennsylvania, Montana, Ohio and Rhode Island -- a trend that leaves the party looking for just two more seats to reclaim the majority. The main targets are states where Republicans in recent years have dominated but this year find themselves in hotly competitive races.[...]

In four other states, Republican incumbents -- Conrad Burns (Mont.), Lincoln D. Chafee (R.I.), Mike DeWine (Ohio) and Rick Santorum (Pa.) -- are all running behind in the latest public polls. Assuming that Democrats hold New Jersey, where Sen. Robert Menendez (D) hopes the state's traditional Democratic tilt will carry him past hard-charging Tom Kean Jr. (R), they would need to grab two more Republican-held seats to gain a 51 to 49 edge. (An evenly split Senate would remain under GOP control because Vice President Cheney would break the tie).
