E Minus 365, & Holding Our Nose

Just a year now 'til the big election. Don't know if this is the only gubernatorial race going on today, but the results may mean something for next year. Or may not, esp. as we here @ Just Another Blog (From L. A.)™ know absolutely nothing about any of the candidates, & not much about Kentucky itself, other than as the home of both bourbon whiskey & our late cousin Norma.
There is more electoral action: Haley Barbour was apparently reëlected in Mississippi, because somehow Federal funds for Katrina relief were a lot easier to get to Mississippi than to Louisiana, which of course would 'splain a Republican grabbing the governorship there a wk. or two ago. This is a bloated toad, not to be confused w/ Gov. Barbour, though it'd be easy to do.
