Trey Grayson and Richie Farmer, two safe bets?

Last week, the Kentucky Education Association (KEA) had its political PAC endorse Secretary of State Trey Grayson for re-election. The KEA almost NEVER endorses a Republican (and as you can see from the list, other than for Trey, all the endorsements went to Democrats). Though I suspect that the individual members will vote their choices anyhow, it speaks volumes that the PAC will fail to choose one of theirs: Bruce Hendrickson, and give its nod to Trey -- GREAT news for Trey.

And though NOT an endorsement, the actions of David Williams last Friday wherein he is alleged to have threatened a City Clerk, might as well be an endorsement for Richie Farmer. Not that Richie needed the endorsement since his name recognition is expected to help him win re-election, but add to that the antics of his opponent and you start to get somewhat of a clearer political picture.

But I caution that stranger things have happened in politics and with Republican political image NOT being what it ought to be, a very large number of Democrats could vote straight ticket and (with possible Republican defections, according to polls and chatter) muddy the otherwise clear political picture.

In spite of all that though, are Trey and Richie not looking more and more like SAFER bets now?
