[Chuck]

I lean strong in the Henry/True cornor because of Heather. But I am still shopping.

[wmjsmallwood]

think gatewood will help the farmers?,,and maybe the poor!

wasn't Steve Henry already in trouble,?,had to pay back money he had no right to spend>?? if that had been me ,i would still be in jail!,,makes you wonder hu?

[ukfan]

You cant vote for a candidate just because his wife is from Maysville. Look at their records.

Don't have a seizure. Leaning toward and casting a vote a 2 entirely different things. I still haven't voted on this poll yet.

[who cares??]

Jonathan MIller has the freshest ideas and sets the standard for transparencey in government. He's our guy......and we like Heather too but we vote on who best represents change and improvement to a broken government.....fundamentally we also love Gatewood....tough decisions.

[The Insider]

Not a tough decision with me. I have visited all the sites and found Gatewood's to be the real deal. Be sure to read their position statements - awesome to view the truth from a political website. His running mate Mark Wireman is a man of honor and integrity too - as Gatewood said a "citizen statesman". Gatewood and Wireman are the real deal and deserve their chance to really make changes in Kentucky. And I guarantee when they win and walk in to the Capitol -- Kentucky government will NEVER be the same!

[geocat]

Galbraith has suggested assisting everyone graduating from high school by providing them money not only for college but also for technical schools. He is a good 'balance' in that he doesn't lean too far in any direction. Most importantly, though, he has thoroughly thought out his platform on several issues. I recommend checking out his website.

[Rossta]

Gatewood all the way! He is the only candidate that is going to deliver in Frankfort and fight for the people not special interest groups! His platform blows everyone else away! Check out his website if you have any ?s on his views @ gatewood.com.

[kygovgogatewood]

GO GATEWOOD!!!!:Banane36:

[PoliticallyConfused]

Looks like Gatewood has supporters. :drum: I still dunno who gets my vote.

As usual still confused :confused:

[pioneerpaula]

Gatewood and Mark have all the "Traits of Good Character", which are trustworthiness, respect, respondibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. They are the only true choices to represent the highest offices of our Commonwealth. They can brihg honesty and intregrity back in Frankfort and the Democrat party itself.

"An Appeal to Heaven" Kentucky needs Gatewood Galbraith and Mark Wireman
as itsr next Governor and Lt. Governor.

Without Gatewood and Mark, our commonwealth will be caught up with the same as we have had before. It is past time for a change.

Step Up Kentucky! Gatewood and Mark are our only hope.

God Bless Gatewood and Mark
God Bless This Campaign
God Bless Kentucky

Just a few reasons I say NO to Henry/True.

The only candidate I see that has a plan behind his champaign promises is Gatewood. Is this election going to be just another "Popularity Contest" or are we going to vote someone in that will do something great.

We voted in Patrick Boggs and Gerald Curtis because we wanted a change. Look at the great job they are doing.

Gerald Curtis has been in office for almost a year. We have not heard of any jail breaks or corruption behind bars.

Patrick Boggs is bring the MCSO up to the current century.

We need to keep this focus on a strong state government. Take a look at Gatewood, you might just like what you see.

[Maxwells]

Gatewood

[sosimmons]

I think Steve Herney would be best cause he knows all about the job he needs to do.

[mark]

I think Steve Herney would be best cause he knows all about the job he needs to do.

What job???

Please elaborate.............see ya mark

[mrlunchbox]

From what I've seen, there are two candiadtes even worth looking at in this election, Gatewood and Jonathen Miller. Miller, while young and energetic, has started to throw around the same type of garbage the other candidates are, but I do have some small hope that he'll not descend to the outright lies of candidates like Lunsford (seriously, the guy endorses Fletcher and has the gall to run as a dmeocrat?). Gatewood is the only candidate who refuses donations from special intrests, he has a truly grass roots campaign going, and his platform sounds an awful lot like common sense. In fact, it sounds so good, Steve Henry actually adopted some of it into his own. While its terribly flattering to Gatewood i'm sure, I'd rather have someone who can come up with their own ideas LEADING our commonwealth out of this hole of corruption and poverty we've fallen into. Can I get an Amen?

[Rossta]

AMEN! Steve Henry is facing criminal charges for illegal fundraising and spending. Lunsford and Beshear both stole ideas for their platform from other out of state candidates (as majority of Lunsford's "blueprint" came from Jim Davis' campaign in FLA). How can we trust these people in Frankfort when they cannot even be honest while running in the primary?! Gatewood is the only honest man running with common sense issues and the courage to fight for KY. I know it’s hard not to support Steve when we all love Heather so much but remember this is about our Governorship not how wonderful of a wife a candidate has. (Heather would have my vote over Steve any day!)

[dlou388]

I met with Gatewood and we had lunch and as soon as he started talking I was sold. He is a great man and would be good for Kentucky.:Banane44:

steve herney

I think steve and Renee are way above the rest of the field.:Banane44:

What job???

Please elaborate.............see ya mark

they are all copying Steve's ideas

Steve Henry will be cleared of this just like all the other things brought up against him. He will be the next gov. :Banane44:

steve herney

by far the best opinion.

wasn't Steve Henry already in trouble,?,had to pay back money he had no right to spend>?? if that had been me ,i would still be in jail!,,makes you wonder hu?

Steve as never found guilty of anything. Steve is not in trouble, that's why he is not in jail. If people want to know the facts don't believe what the press,especially the courier journal reports. He was cleared by all parties .

Not a tough decision with me. I have visited all the sites and found Gatewood's to be the real deal. Be sure to read their position statements - awesome to view the truth from a political website. His running mate Mark Wireman is a man of honor and integrity too - as Gatewood said a "citizen statesman". Gatewood and Wireman are the real deal and deserve their chance to really make changes in Kentucky. And I guarantee when they win and walk in to the Capitol -- Kentucky government will NEVER be the same.

I thought Gatewood's book with him on the cover was done in really poor taste. In this country today he should have shown a little more taste, than standing with a M-60 machine gun. Not good for Ky.:Banane44:

Gatewood can say alot of promises, but getting the chance to do it will never happen. Nobody can take the man serious, because of past comments. Consult his Bio on all of weird views, but everyone is aloud to their opinion.

If Heather would have your then think about it, If you vote for one you get both. Ask our veterans.

You are flood posting. Please wait for a reply in between your posts. Steve/Renee themselves are more than welcome to come here and take his stance.

Please don't flood post.

[marine]

Steve is really getting the raw end of political scandle. He's winning

[Sofa King]

By all the posts, looks like you have a vested interest in the Henry campaign.

If they can't defend themselves on here, they ain't getting my vote.

Not that they'd have it anyway.

I'm sorry Rossta.:Banane44:

Look at the facts, he' running for gov. If the quote charges were true why isn't he in trouble?

I should be able to defend steve, renee and heather, when you talk about them, you talk about every veteran in this country, after all thats what this country is founded on, but you have a right to your opinion

[marine]

you need to learn the truth for yourself, sometimes beleiving what others say can make you sound like you don't know what you are talking about.
