Governor Beshear Expects "Stiff" Challege
KENTUCKY...
Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear is predicting that Louisville businessman Phil Moffett will be a strong candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination next year.
Beshear said in a letter to supporters earlier this month that he can't yet predict who he will face in his re-election bid. Moffett and state Sen. David Williams have announced they intend to run. Beshear said Williams will have "a stiff challenge" from Moffett, a tea party candidate.
Beshear has so far drawn on token opposition in the Democratic primary from Harlan County demolition contractor Otis Hensley, a perennial candidate.
Lexington lawyer Gatewood Galbraith has announced he intends to run as an independent candidate for governor.
