Galbraith to run for governor

Gatewood Galbraith is a Kentucky political legend.

He has run for governor 4 times before - 3 of those times in the Democratic primary. Now he's announced his fifth bid - this time as an independent on the 2011 ballot, with Dea Riley as his running mate.

Galbraith, 62, has always run on a populist platform that draws a wide coalition of supporters. The media though has tried to downplay him, simply because they don't like his stances.

Galbraith said he's running for governor again "to combat Kentucky's electile dysfunction."

Meanwhile, the Republicans seem to be at a loss for fielding any candidate at all.
