Frankfort, KY – Texas congressman and presidential hopeful Ron Paul is the third Republican to enter Kentucky's May 22nd primary election. The Paul campaign made it official yesterday, just before today's filing deadline. Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich have also filed to run in the commonwealth. Because of the timing of Kentucky's primary, presidential nominees typically are decided before Kentucky voters have their say. But the state could be important this year in an especially close race.

Frankfort, KY – Responding to critics, Governor Steve Beshear says he believes he already has ample support in the state Senate to send an expanded gambling amendment to the ballot.

Beshear says there are 23 state senators who would vote in favor of the measure. That doesn t mean all 23 support gambling though, as some senators, like Republican Damon Thayer, have said they will vote to put the issue on the ballot but aren t supportive of gambling in Kentucky. Opponents have said the governor does not have the votes in his favor.
