Never too early for 2008

Less than a month after Republicans lost the 3rd Congressional District seat in Louisville held by U.S. Rep. Anne Northup, a familiar sports figure is looking at trying to win it back for the GOP.

Former University of Louisville football player Chris Thieneman, who now owns a successful development company, said he’s taking a hard look at running in 2008 for the chance to take on Democrat John Yarmuth, who narrowly defeated Northup this fall.

Thieneman, who played from 1983 to ‘84 and 1986 to ‘87, was an honorable mention Associated Press All American in his last season.

thus the difference between the dems & repugs...the repugs are always thinking ahead & planning ahead. The democrats sit & wait as they wring their hands about who might run for elected positions.
