Tim Coleman recieves endorsements, Northup takes issue with Fletcher's health care claims & Harper goes to school.

Commonwealth Attorney, Tim Coleman, who is running for Attorney General, has received endorsements from his fellow Prosecutors (9 Commonwealth attorneys and 7 County Attorneys). Click here to view the list and read more. Some of the glowing comments made about Tim (according to the press release), who was "honored and humbled by the outpouring of support across Kentucky", were:

"Tim Coleman is the only candidate in the Republican primary that has the true prosecutorial experience that is needed to overcome Frankfort politics," said Commonwealth Attorney Linda Talley Smith from Boone County. "The time has come for an experienced prosecutor who will put doing the job before political consideration."

"For decades we have had ambitious politicians with law degrees use the office as nothing more than a stepping stone," said Danny Evans, Commonwealth Attorney for Laurel and Knox. "The people of Kentucky should expect their Attorney General to treat his office more than simply a gateway to another office."

"As our next Attorney General, Tim will bring a renewed level of respect and ability to the highest prosecutor’s office in our Commonwealth." states Charles Orange, Commonwealth’s Attorney for Logan and Todd counties.

On the gubernatorial front, Anne Northup, in anticipation of the next mail-out from Fletcher on health care or in reaction to Fletcher's GET HEALTHY KENTUCKY MESSAGES, urged Kentuckians to "Take the Kentucky Health Care Challenge!" The questions she posed are:

Question: Do you think Ernie Fletcher has fixed the problems with Health Care and lowered the cost for Kentuckians?

If you answer YES to this, then Ernie Fletcher is your candidate on May 22nd.
If you answer NO to this, then Anne Northup is your candidate on May 22nd.

Question: Have your Health Care insurance premiums skyrocketed while Ernie Fletcher has sat back and done nothing?

If you answer YES to this, then Anne Northup is your candidate on May 22nd.
If you answer NO to this, then Ernie Fletcher is your candidate on May 22nd.

And, Billy Harper "will attend the vendors’ night activities at the Jackson Purchase Fire School beginning at 4 p.m. (CDT) Saturday, March 31 at the Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park lodge in Gilbertsville", according to a press release from his office.

Update: 1:45 PM It appears (from Mark Hebert of On the Mark) that Billy Harper's campaign manager, Stan Pulliam, has resigned moved back to his home state of Oregon. His Deputy will take over. This sure is a sign that Stan was frustrated at the progress being made by Harper, whose $3 million spent so far, has bought him no more than a 15% share in the polls. Any thoughts?
