Lesson learned to those who threw an Obama protesting tantrum I'm voting Republican!

Amazing that WV fell before Ohio and Kentucky on this though.

The reason for this is that Ohio and Kentucky have more big cities. The GOP is just a rural rump party now.

If the GOP were just a rural romp party, they wouldn't win any elections.

It's been really amusing to watch you go from a firy populist to some sort of arrogant rural-hater in like five years, all in the name of remaining a hack.  KY is a mostly poor, rural state, and its Democratic governors and legislatures over the years have done nothing to improve that over the years; why shouldn't they try something else?

In urban areas, they rarely do anymore.

They haven't won urban areas, uh ... Ever.  Most Republican strength, in true numbers, comes from suburbs and exurbs.  Who cares if they win tiny rural counties with >70%?  No one lives in them.  The GOP flips states by winning suburbs.
