An Update

Yes, Col. Andrew Horne has announced he was running. I have not spoken with Dan in a few days and I hope the entrance into the race does not discourage him from running. The morning's article in the Courier-Journal does not say whether or not he has made a decision.

Dan Borsch, president of the Louisville-Jefferson County Young Democrats, has said he is considering the race. He could not be reached yesterday.

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney David Hale, in private practice in Louisville, said he is considering a challenge to Northup.

"I can confirm I have been asked by several Democratic leaders in Kentucky and in Washington to consider this race, and that's what I'm doing," Hale said. "I will make a decision relatively quickly, and I will make the decision irrespective of any other candidate's decisions."

Update: Dan is looking at the race irrespective of decisions that other candidates have made.
