Its official: Chandler is out.

Queling speculations about his run for Governor and confirming my earlier post here that he won't run, as well as another of my posts that he is facing enormous pressure to reconsider (from Crit Luallen Berenton Jones and others, as Chandler himself confirmed -- read his statement), U. S. Rep. Ben Chandler has finally made it official that he is not running. Read it here. Now as I posted earlier also, let the crying, hand-slapping, nail-bitting, back stabbing and the rough and tumble jockeying for position begin!
