GALBRAITH MISSED SOME CHANCES
There have been plenty of eulogies already for perennial candidate
Gatewood Galbraith, who died last week at age 64 at his Lexington
home, so this column isn't going to focus on his wit, his humanity,
his intellect and his toothy grin.
No, what hasn't been talked about much is the fact that Galbraith
missed a real opportunity to more effectively push for the things
about which he cared deeply because of his marijuana activism and
because he refused to step onto a smaller stage and run in races he
could afford.
Had he chosen a more traditional path, because of his wit, his
humanity, his intellect and his toothy grin, he may have been wildly
successful; no Kentucky candidate in generations has been able to hold
audiences like Galbraith.
