- Jody Richards, on the election results where he place fourth out of six person race.
2) "People now recognize that we're going to be a major player in the Democratic Party."

3) "Well, I guess we've answered the electability question,"

4) "We've got a divided Republican Party and anyone who suggests otherwise is disingenuous and being untruthful."
- Jack Richardson IV, the Jefferson County Republican Party chairman, on the Republican Party primary election.

7) "It looks like hard-core Democrats took me to the woodshed for supporting Ernie four years ago."

How about Harper? After his quixotic attempt went down hard, I hear he has been very ingracious, but I haven't seen exact quotes.
Told you Jody had no chance!
Yep, you did. But I wasn't saying he had a chance -- just that he SHOULDN'T be QUICKLY counted out. I suspect many of his supporters left for Beshear to help him avoid a runoff!
