Bob Gable

Robert Gable, a businessman from southern Kentucky, was the Republican nominee for Governor of Kentucky in 1975. He lost in a landslide to the incumbent Democrat, Julian Carroll. Carroll won 470,159 votes (62.8%) to 277,998 (37.2%) for Gable.

In 1995 Gable again sought the governor's office, and lost in an even greater landslide in the Republican primary. With Shirley W. Palmer-Ball, his 1975 running mate, again reprising that role, Gable lost the primary with 17,054 votes (14.5%) to Larry Forgy and Tom Handy's 97,099 votes (82.4%).
