From Ryan Alessi, Herald Leader newspaper, Lexington, Ky. Feb 12, 2008. ...Gov. Steve Beshear, U.S. Rep. Ben Chandler (KY superdelegate) of Versailles, Party Chairman Jennifer Moore (KY superdelegate) and (Nathan) Smith (KY superdelegate) - have chosen not to make an endorsement yet. "Why would we? We could be king makers," said Jim Cauley, Beshear's chief of staff. Cauley, a Pikeville native, managed Obama's 2004 U.S. Senate race.

UPDATE: May 22, 2008  Following the Kentucky Democrati primary on May 20th, Gov. Beshear still has not endorsed either candidate. Kentucky voted overwhelmingly for Clinton. Beshear earlier had stated he would wait until after the primary before announcing. Reporter Mark Hebert of WHAS-TV in Louisville reports, "Sources are telling me that decision has been made and they're not sure why Beshear isn't announcing his support for Hillary."
