A Lucas Sequel

Ex-Rep. Ken Lucas (D) is announcing today that he’s making a bid to reclaim his old KY 04 House seat. Lucas, who retired in ’04, saw his seat switch to the GOP last cycle, when Rep. Geoff Davis defeated Clooney dad Nick Clooney 54%-44%. But Lucas is hoping for results similar to '02, when he defeated Davis by 3 points in what was his final campaign.

In his press release, Lucas said: "In 2004, I had planned to retire from elected public service. But, over the last year, I've grown concerned about the widespread public corruption news coming from Congress and the increased partisanship in the U.S. House of Representatives. I'm disappointed that Geoff Davis has done nothing to separate himself from many of the figures involved in those scandals and that he has voted almost exclusively with his national party’s congressional leadership at the expensive of bipartisan cooperation and good will."

See http://benmckown.blogspot.com. Lucas's chances seem slim to most in Kentucky, even in a bad year for the GOP.
