I hope not, and I tend to think not. That being said, the Beshear name counts for something in Kentucky. He'll be running against a specific Republican, and that specific Republican may have baggage that could sink him in an election that will not be as nationalized as one that occurs during Federal Election years.
I personally think Beshear won because Mitch McConnell worked behind the scenes to do in Bevin. Beshear won't have that working for him next time out. Nor will Beshear have the perception that his is a moderate Kentucky Democrat different from the National Democratic Party Woketopians. He's gone out on a limb on those issues and it will remain to be seen how much of that he can downplay after three (3) years.
Beshear's still in his first year in office, so he's got plenty of opportunity to shore up his right flank. He's not a goner, not by any means. Being re-elected won't be easy for him, however.
