Billy Harper's campaign doesn't stand a chance

Paducah millionaire Billy Harper recently announced that he was throwing his hat in ring for the next year's gubernatorial race. Harper has already spent a load of money on a couple of vauge mush-mouthed TV ads that have aired across Kentucky.

Harper seems to be running on one issue: Education. However, it's hard to figure out how exactly he plans to improve schools in Kentucky. Just look at some of the ideas listed on his website:

Funding for full-day kindergarten.
Advocate for higher certification requirements for teachers.
Reward teacher leaders.
Require every high school to show its graduates have necessary skills and knowledge for the workplace and for success on the job.
Hold teachers, principals, school councils, students and superintendents personally accountable for student achievement.

Very unimpressive. Harper should donate his greenbacks to Kentucky's school kids. He could help education in Kentucky if he pushed for tuition tax credits. Individuals and corporations could donate funds to individual students so they can choose a school that best fits their needs. Harper's millions could be used for something good rather than being wasted on a poorly run campaign.
