Beshear beats Fletcher in Kentucky governor race
Democrat Steve Beshear defeats Republican Emie Fletcher by about 20 points as faith and public service themes anchor his campaign. Fletcher touted a Ten Commandments display amid an election atmosphere overshadowed by a hiring scandal and a criminal indictment that was dismissed. Barbour wins Mississippi reelection with credit for Katrina recovery and job growth. Mayors elected in Philadelphia Baltimore and Pittsburgh, and Luke Ravenstahl becomes the nation’s youngest big city mayor.
