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.
