The following story with kentucky.com website of the Lexington Herald Leader was Posted on Tue, Jul. 18, 2006
"Rogers-for-governor site dismantled
"FRANKFORT -- A day after launching a Web page aimed at drafting Republican Congressman Hal Rogers into the 2007 governor's race, the anonymous creator of the site removed it today from cyberspace.
"The site, www.halforgovernor.com, first appeared Monday. It was hosted through an Arizona-based company, Domains by Proxy, which allows the site's designer to remain anonymous.
"Rogers' spokeswoman Leslie Cupp said Monday that neither the congressman nor his staff was responsible for the site or aware of its existence until sometime on Monday.
"When asked today whether Rogers or the staff were involved in the site being taken down, she replied, "No."
"The site said Rogers would make a "fine" governor and would be best suited to tackle the challenges of Frankfort.
"Word spread about the site through several blogs and was reported by the Herald-Leader."
Kenneth Stepp remains neutral in any Republican Primary between Hal Rogers and Ernie Fletcher. Kenneth Stepp.
