Democratic candidate Steve Beshear has a new ad up attacking Governor Ernie Fletcher (R-KY), in response to a Fletcher ad that went after Beshear for serving as an attorney in the liquidation of Kentucky Central Life Insurance in the 1990's.

"Ernie Fletcher's attack on Steve Beshear is like blaming the sheriff for a train robbery," the narrator says. "Beshear rescued the victims of Kentucky Central, and had nothing to do with the company's collapse."

The narrator then goes to describe what has been the central issue in this election, Fletcher's ethics: "Ernie Fletcher can't be trusted. He rigged contracts, and created a slush fund to reward political donors."
