David Williams is interested in nothing but furthering the interests of David Williams. He has used his position as his party's leader in the Senate to block, torpedo, or bury many bills that his own party has wanted, simply because he didn't get what HE wanted out of them or because Democrats introduced them. And he actively panders to the rural, religious vote (post those 10 Commandments!) while taking part in one of the very activities they abhor (gambling!).
Richie Farmer is one of 'The Unforgettables' - the four scholarship players at UK who stayed and played after Sutton got them on probation. Sticking by the team when it was in trouble won him lots of admirers. There have been a lot of Farmers who have played basketball and a fair number who have gone into politics in Eastern Kentucky. I know nothing to his detriment, other than he agreed to be on the ticket with Williams.

there is no question that Farmer is the popular side of the equation, and doesn't have much negative press at this point. Although there was an article last week regarding his wasteful spending on new vehicles for his depatment. While it was clearly an attempt to plant a negative seed just before the announcement, it also should not be taken lightly...if he isnt willing to cut costs within his own department in a very bad economy, what are his plans for the whole state when he's second in command?

FRANKFORT, Ky. — When you glance at the logo for David Williams' and Richie Farmer's campaign for governor and lieutenant governor, it's hard to tell whether they're running for office or are recruiting a Streetball Showdown team.
Yep — right there in the middle of the logo is a stylized basketball, which has never in any way shape or form been the symbol of Williams, the state Senate president. And he's the fella who actually leads the ticket. But it has been the symbol of Farmer, the beloved University of Kentucky star who parlayed his celebrity into a political career, winning two terms as agriculture commissioner. It's probably not a bad move, just a little out of the ordinary. Was there ever a time when a presidential candidate highlighted his runningmate on his campaign's logo rather than himself? In 2008, had President Barack Obama chosen to focus on his gaffe-prone runningmate, Joe Biden, instead of the himself, the “Hope and Change” logo might have been replaced with a foot wedged into a mouth. And should Obama's opponent, Sen. John McCain, have focused on runningmate Sarah Palin, who was accused of using her power as governor to retaliate against a state police trooper, he might have opted for an ethics complaint. So why would Williams focus on a runningmate's athletic background? If Democrats are right, Williams is about as popular as a root canal.
