Like, er, a total sweep by GOP of statewide elections?
Just about a GOP sweep. Even the races the Dems held in Kentucky were very close and they were a well known figure versus an unknown, and they almost lost those.
Matt Bevin was about as weak a candidate in some ways the GOP could have run, and he won the Governorship by 12 points tonight. he's an outsider, but he got beat to hell in the primaries, and does have some questionable stuff in his past, but I think the "yellow dog" thing that used to apply to Democrats in the south now applies to anyone who isn't a career politician.
But a lot of this, a LOT of this, is a rejection of the extreme Leftism of the Democratic national party and Obama. Easily as extreme as the McGovern election years.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.
Yes. Here's her bio from the Bevin site: http://www.mattbevin.com/meet_jenean

I didnt run for Mayor this time--just a Commission seat, but received 73% of the vote for an unprecedented 4th term on the commission.
Wish you'd talked to us about that Jeff. I can't speak for the others but I have always considered it a bit of my cache' that I know the mayor of Bozeman. I won't be quite as cool now, though the landslide reelection does help.

She seems to be pretty solid to me, based on the bio info. I had never heard of her before this.
MOLON LABE!
What's the story on Bevin? I have not heard of him before either, not that I recall.
MOLON LABE!
I get you taking it easier for sure, just had to let you know how much cool you bring to the group.
Though I'd bet my car you aren't really the "taking it easier" type of guy, witness you still being on the Commission. As you said, I'm sure something will come up to have you in the headlines soon enough.

Conway's 43% showing was the 3rd worst for a Democratic candidate in Kentucky history and worst since 1863:

U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19
You will now see many democrats in non urban and suburban areas switch parties. It will be very quick in developing. Kentucky is just about the last southern state with any semblence of a Democrat Party?
Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been.--David Bowie.
