In one of the lamest attack campaigns--run by any candidate--Governor Ernie Fletcher (R) has launched a series of "Christian radio" ad campaigns against former Kentucky lieutenant governor and attorney general Steve Beshear (D), who is also running for governor.
Specifically, Fletcher derides Beshear as not being a very virtuous, much less Christian, individual.
Why?
During Beshear's tenure as Kentucky's attorney general, the Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to display the Ten Commandments in public buildings, such as schools and courthouses. Beshear, in an attempt to follow the law, ordered that all state institutions uphold the Supreme Court's opinion and remove any--and all--displays of the Ten Commandments from public property.
Apparently, for someone like Governor Fletcher, it is wrong to obey the law. His own, personal and public records stand as testimony to that assumption.
Fletcher was wrong for Kentucky in 2003, and he is wrong for Kentucky in 2007! (Despite the Kentucky Republican Party's ad campaign, in 2003, I'm ready to go back to wearing hot pants.)

This makes me dislike the Republicans even more! >:-(
I'd like to see you in hot pants. Is it hot in here or is it just me? ;-)
Ha! Ha! You're a funny one.
The hot pants reference goes back to Republican campaign ads in 2003.
In particular, one of them made reference to the 1970s (specifically 1971), because that is the last time there had been a Republican governor in Kentucky. The Republican ad wanted to know since we had changed fashions, such as hot pants, why were we still messing around with Democrats in the Governor's Mansion?
I have to admit, it was a cute ad, but highly misleading.
