Dems. crowd field as Richards, Stumbo and Armstrong are expected to file.
Tom Loftus has a story on the expected crowding of the Democratic field for Governor. It appears that we can expect an announcement this week from House Speaker Jody Richards and forrmer Secretary of State John Y. Brown III. Also, it appears that former Louisville mayor and state attorney general, Dave Armstrong may become a contender too, joining a likely field that will most likely include Attorney General Greg Stumbo (and state Rep., Joni Jenkins of shively as running mate?). Stay tuned as the Dems. crowd their field.

Wednesday and Thursday will see one more Republican and two more Democrats in the race for governor.
One or more of these candidates will be going fly arounds Thursday and Friday.
Care to let us know who they are?
Northup and Gatewood G. will announce on Wednesday in Frankfort. Northup will be in at the Bowling Green Airport at 1:15 p.m. Friday. It appears Richards will announce in Bowling Green on Thursday. Henry has put off his announcement until next week.
Stumbo is leaning toward re-election, but things could change.
By "guess" is the Boswell and Armstrong will not run.
Kyjurisdoctor, I thought you could tell. I will tell you the next time we run into each other.
Anonymous, did we talk recently on the phone ... or in person? I do not know about Boswell, but Armstrong has always indicated (once in person to me) that he is interested in running for Governor.
It looks like today's the day for Richards announcement. Maybe yesterday was a too busy a news day. It will also over-ride Northup's Bowling Green visit if he does it today.
Things can change on a dine in Frankfort (so talk is not always correct), but it still looks like two or more Democrats will enter the race for governor next week.
Henry must be looking at some polling that no one else has if he thinks he has a shot. Stumbo continues to have a hard time picking between sure re-election (many think)or a race for governor (which appears to be wide open).
Two or three other Democrats still talk about the race, but it is hard to see their chances.
