I'm also very disappointed that the statewide Democratic Party is putting so little effort into keeping the House. They keep claiming the House is their #1 priority, but there's a bunch of seats where they don't even have a candidate in November. If they won't even fight for the House, you can imagine how little effort they're putting into other offices.
Do they have strong candidates or the resources to mount major efforts in this respect? Maybe the seats you refer to are also not viable for one reason or another at this time (I'm just guessing things here).
The Kentucky Democratic party has been losing across the board since the 1994 Republican Revolution, and as seen of late, their fall from power looks to be nearing completion. They are 2 statewide offices and 5 seats from holding no majorities or major offices of anything in the state.
So my thoughts are that maybe they can't get the resources they would need because at best it would only slightly delay the inevitable - Short of a major shift in the KY electorate back to their party, which would require significant policy changes and increased prosperity at this point, no?
It is pretty telling as to the Democrats problem that they now need poor people to stop being poor in order to win their votes. Didn't use to be like that.
