Ted Schlecter over at The Bridge is hearing chatter that Charlie Owen will announce his candidacy against Senator Mitch McConnell for 2008 sometime in the next month.

Ted is also speculating that there will be a Democratic primary, which I assume is Ted’s way of saying that Attorney General Greg Stumbo will enter the race. I’m all for a healthy and friendly primary because it keeps the Democratic candidates in the spotlight and whoever wins the primary will, of course, come away with the momentum and aura of that win. Stumbo proved in this year’s Democratic primary that he’s a class act, and so is Owen.

Also, Ted highlights Mark Hebert’s report on the latest scandal to hit the Fletcher administration: bid rigging and the steering of state highway contracts in the Transportation Department to Fletcher’s political supporters.
