Most thrilling gubernatorial election in your lifetime

[Dave Hedgehog]

For me I would have to say Kentucky last year, really did think federal-level partisanship was going to kick in big in the end and either sink Beshear or see him scrape through by the skin of his teeth despite his consistent strong approvals. In the end it was a fairly comfortable win, probably the very best D's could hope for out of KY these days. That said, I really don't think anything can be read out of that vis-a-vis this year's presidential election - if anything it proved that polling averages and approval ratings can be quite predictive indeed, which does not bode too well for Biden.
