Richards "Lapp"s it up, Miller worries about retirement accounts & Beshear wants minimum wage raise.

The political news from the Democrats, according to PolWatchers, is that the Richards/Brown ticket appears likely to hire a veteran as their media guy. His name is John Peel. He has a good track record and is currently also working with New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's presidential campaign. Johnathan Miller's ticket is worried about retirement accounts' insolvency, while Steve Beshear's ticket wants Kentucky to pre-empt the Federal Govt. and raise the minimum wage -- a moot issue since it is a Congressional issue and the Senate has just acted to do just that yesterday.
