Not A Vote Of Confidence

Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher, facing dismal poll numbers showing him down 15 points or more, doesn't need any more bad news. He certainly doesn't need Kentucky Office of Insurance Executive Director Julie McPeak looking for another job because, according to emails, she thinks his re-election prospects are "bleak." And if those emails ever showed up in the Lexington Herald-Leader, it would really rub salt in the wound.

Too late.

Fletcher, likely to lose his seat to former Lieutenant Gov. Steve Beshear (D), just can't catch a break.
