Ken Lucas, the former congressman of the 4th district and now occupied by Geoff Davis, may run again for Congress. When he ran, he ran on term limits. He said he would be there for 2. He ended going 3, realized he needed to stick with his pledge as much as possible and bowed out. In recent months, a number of northern Kentucky Democrats have been trying to persuade Lucas to get back in and run against Davis in 2006. Davis ran against Lucas in 2002 and lost.

Lucas had said last week he wasn't interested. This week he reaffirmed that position but also said never say never in politics. Why did all this come about. The Dems in Northern Ky. have put on a relentless campaign to get him back. They've been calling, writing letters, etc. They've really put forth a major effort.

The other part of this is money and he'll have it. Right now, no one's paying much attention to the Northern Ky. race. If Lucas jumps in, the district comes into play majorly. The reason is Lucas' former campaign manager, John Lapp, is now the executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
