[Bluegrass Federalist]

No, he is term-limited. His plan before he got caught with his pants down (zing!) was to challenge Jim Bunning for the U.S. Senate seat. He was considered a strong contender before the affair/sex-for-influence scandal.

PArt of what he is doing now is intentionally hurting the Dem candidate for governor, who is the current AG prosecuting these guys. He gets embarrassed, plus the whole Democratic Party looks like the criminals they are. He's taking the whole party down with him out of hate for the nominee, and I am loving it.

Chandler is still in the same group--he's taking money from Patton cronies, even from people Chandler is in charge of prosecuting.

The Feds have cracked many vote-scam cases in Eastern Kentucky that Chandler sat on. I guess Chandler is hoping that enough of the "pass-around money" system is still entact when November rolls around.
