Anti-Horse Candidate for Ky Gov.

[citycat]

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.
