Dan Mongiardo heaps praises on Lt. Governor Steve Pence, rules out senate race against Mitch McConnell, but not against Jim Bunning.

In their televised debate last night, Lt. Governor candidate, State Senator Dan Mangiardo, heaped praises on current Lt. Governor, Steve Pence, observing that "Steve Pence has, I believe, done a very admirable job," and that "He's a man that brings the type of characteristics we want in our leaders," including being "... very bipartisan in his approach as shown by his standing up against his governor when his governor went off in the wrong direction."

Mongiardo also announced that he would resign, rather than stick with Steve Beshear, should he as Governor do what Fletcher has done, that, amongst other things gave birth to the merit system hiring mess.
