Lexington and its burbs may not be Louisville, but they aren't Hazard either. Big chunk of the Appalachians in KY-06 are 20-year-old kids who moved there to attend UK. The Appalachians in most of Eastern KY are...not that.

And McGrath was a first-time candidate for federal office. Beshear's had a chance to define himself and is running at the state level.

Doesn't make a lot of sense to compare the two.

You’re right. It doesn’t make sense. One was running a in a Trump +15 district. The other is running in a Trump +30 state

Sticking with my prediction of 55-43 in favor of Bevin, at least for now. Bevin is horrible, but at least I'll be able to say "I told you so" on November 6.

What a big win for you kiddo

Beshear hit the magical 51% mark, 51/49 Beshear

I would sincerely doubt both add up to 100%. Also, Bevin is still favored. KY polls heavily underestimate GOP support and often late term deciders heavily break for the partisan leaning of this state.

Another GOP politician endorses Beshear.

Andy Beshear is PROUD to be endorsed by moderate Republicans that hit teen cyclists with their cars!

I do think that although one-off endorsements don't have any real effect, having a plethora of bipartisan endorsements can really contribute to a more palatable message, especially in a state as reoublican as Kentucky.

I think this helped JBE in Louisiana a bit.

Bevin doing everything he can to lose

Here's a longer article on the rift between Bevin and Goforth along with the contrast of Beshear and Rocky being BFFs

Yeah, Bevin would be gone in a swing state, but in a state like Kentucky, he can lose a lot of Trump voters and still be fine.

Putting those two on stage together without the President is probably not a good use of campaign resources in the first place.

I'll take all the joy I can get in seeing Bevin embarassed and frustrated time and time again, in anticipation of an undeserved win in November for him. Still hope some Republicans will be disillusioned enough to stay home.

Why is it that of the two governors Kentucky has had since the early 1970s that were Republicans (Ernie Fletcher and now Matt Bevin), they were both so horrible that even Republican voters could only barely stomach them?  Was their statewide bench so sparse that they simply were unable to field better-quality candidates?

Yes, their statewide bench really was that sparse. There were no statewide executive office Republicans in the lead up to the 2003 gubernatorial election. In the lead up to 2015, James Comer was the only statewide Republican and he seemed pretty promising if I remember right, but he was accused of having his girlfriend from college get an abortion and that allowed Bevin to upset him in the primary

Also, Anne Northup could have had a respectable loss instead of the 58-41 margin.
