They won't flip to the Republicans. In fact, there's an outside chance the Democrats could regain the Kentucky Senate.

What about the Kentucky Supreme Court as far as judicial statewide offices?

It's elected on a nonpartisan basis.

A lot of seats in the Kentucky House (including my district) don't even have a Republican candidate. That's very unusual for the GOP.

So we know the seat in northern Campbell County won't flip.

The seat in Covington also has no Republican candidate.

I'd say the chance that the Democrats keep either Kentucky or West Virginia's State Houses is about as good as Cuomo losing re-election in New York.  The Republicans are locks to take both State Houses.  If Obama were not incredibly unpopular in both states, then it might be otherwise, but this November will be especially toxic for Democrats in both states (except perhaps in the race against Mitch McConnell).

Kentucky may now be too urban for the modern GOP.

Besides that, Appalachian Kentucky is now only about the size of one congressional district. Other parts of Kentucky won't vote like West Virginia. (For instance, Louisville votes like a big Midwestern city; some rural counties vote like parts of Indiana; my district votes like Cincinnati; etc.)
