Kentucky 2015 - Predictions and Results Thread

I can't believe Steve's kid might lose to so some no-name with a J.D. from Southern Illinois.

What happened?

Clinton and Obama are so unpopular in Kentucky that even a Republican on the far edge of the sanity scale was able to trounce a moderate Democrat by 9%.

Bevin is the same Republican who refused to endorse McConnell after getting trounced in the 2014 primary (if I recollect accurately).

If I were a Democrat, I wouldn't feel good except for the State House of Representatives not being up for election this year.

The party is toast here. This was their last chance to remain relevant and Conway wasted it.

They'll pray that Paul or Bevin give them an opening to steal a seat, but the book is shut now as long as coal remains a rallying cry.

"@joesonka: Democratic Sen. Ray Jones on KET saying that Kentucky Democrats don't criticize Barack Obama enough."

This is a glorious march towards extinction.

Maybe Democrats should invest more in their state parties instead of patting themselves on the back for an Electoral College advantage and openly ridiculing the lifestyles of huge segments of the populations.  Despite calls that the RNC has shifted way right, it's perfectly comfortable running socially liberal candidates in places like MA and IL; I think most Dems feel they're "past" needing social conservatives, and that's just wrong if they want to keep governors' mansions and win back legislatures.

What are you talking about? Conway pandered to the right virtually every step of the way.
