Few expected Geoff Davis to announce he was retiring from Congress this soon, but there is no surprise at the amount of interest in replacing him. For Republicans, in particular, KY-4 is a very attractive district, notwithstanding that Democrats still hold a registration advantage.
Davis's retirement must be causing plenty of East End Republicans to wish they'd moved from Jefferson County to Oldham County. The voter registration for KY-3, Jefferson County, makes it so unlikely that a Republican can win that it is a waste of resources to even contribute to a Republican there. Not so in KY-4.
In the inevitable Republican primary for the 4th Congressional District, Hunter Bates would be terriffic. He is smart, humble, has a very strong faith and great political instincts. And he's a true conservative. He would be an outstanding Congressman. I hope he runs; he would win and serve his district, Kentucky and the nation with distinction.

Voting Patterns in KY-3 and KY-6
This is worth keeping in mind as we watch to see if Rep. John Yarmuth and Rep. Ben Chandler will join the ranks of the unemployed.
Here are the results in Yarmuth's 3rd Congressional district for the last three presidential elections:
- In 2008, Obama beat McCain 56-43,
- In 2004, Kerry beat Bush 51-49,
- in 200, Gore beat Bush 50-48.
- Obama lost to McCain, 43-55,
- Kerry lost to Bush 41-58,
- Gore lost to Bush 42-56.
It's a good reminder of why Ben Chandler votes like a RINO, and why John Yarmuth votes with the far, far left not just with impunity but with joyful abandon.

Martian or RINO?
Republican In Name Only Warren Stone has endorsed Democrat Michael Kelley, who is running in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District against Republican Rep. Geoff Davis.
Stone sought the Republican nomination but lost to Davis in the primary this past May.
In 1979, Stone reported to UFO Evidence that a flying saucer landed in his yard in Independence. Space aliens emerged and took him for a 90 minute ride.
In his own words,
The craft was round, shiny and bright. A hatch opened that formed a ramp down to the ground. The alien was a male human, long blond hair and very mild mannered, his name was Alan or Adam, I can't remember. There was a female with dark hair, but I didn't talk to her. He asked me if I would like to go for a ride, and I agreed. I could remember seeing my house from above, then all the houses in the area, then the blackness of space. Before I knew it we had returned. It felt strange to know how things looked from above because at that time I had never flown.
Stone explains his decision to endorse Kelley by analogizing to Colin Powell's endorsement of Sen. Barak Obama. We await the next installment of UFO Evidence to learn whether Powell has had any "close encounters."
