You didn't hear much about social issues in the Kentucky governor election, and the Democrats ended up doing a lot better than expected in rural counties. Of course they did worse than expected in affluent suburbs, but I don't really care about that. .
err so??? ?? Dude whether you like it or not suburban America is the fastest growing segment and it IS tending Republican.
I really dont get what you mean when you say U "dont care" about the suburbs and <If not for the suburbs, the GOP would have lost>??
The fact is they DID vote GOP and the GOP DID win. Unless you have evidence that this will change; I dont think its a great democratic victory to marginally regain rural votes and lose even more in suburban areas.
