 * GA review (see here for criteria)

The article meets all the good article criteria as-is, so I'm going to pass it. It's very clear and readable. I have a few minor comments which go beyond the GA criteria; you may address them or disregard them as you wish. —Designate (talk) 23:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC) - There are a few odd terms that ought to be linked – "U.S. Congress", "wood-roasted chicken", "Mrs. Kentucky". Maybe "bachelor's degree" as that means different things in different countries. - "old political foe" should probably be reworded, such as "former political foe".
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * - I think it would be smoother to put the family members later in the lead. Reading the first paragraph was jarring for me, especially the "Currently single" which is off-tone for a biography. The first paragraph is usually the most basic summary of the subject's identity. Also, I don't like the phrase "although he may be best-known for...". It seems weaselly for the lead paragraph.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * I think some of the footnoting is excessive (but others may disagree with me). The "In Kentucky's Governors" paragraph cites the same footnote four sentences in a row. It would help the article's clarity if some of the footnotes were condensed.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * No obvious problems, as you apparently wrote the whole article yourself.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * The image of Collins should use the "upright" option so it's not so big. It would be good to correct the rotation if possible.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

 * Pass/Fail:

Good work. Good luck on the GT.
