More gubernatorial campaign info from the Herald Leader. They did a regional breakdown of their most recent poll. Bevin leading in rural parts of the state, including much of coal country. This suggests that Republican attempts to tie Conway to OBAMA'S WAR ON COAL may be succeeding with many voters, despite Conway's extremely cozy relationship with the coal industry. But the biggest/most surprising takeaway is that Conway is leading in Northern Kentucky. The population in that region is largely comprised of relatively affluent suburbs and exurbs of Cincinnati. These folk are normally Republican voters, but of the socially-liberal, fiscally-gently caress-you variety common to well-off suburbanites. It appears many of them may be willing to flip or stay home, if the Republican candidate is an arch-conservative culture-warrior like Bevin. Louisville and Lexington can't normally outvote the rest of the state by themselves, but the equation changes if counties like Boone, Kenton and Campbell are actually in play.

note: the Republican Attorney Generals' Association has been spending heavily for Westerfield, so that race isn't as lopsided, money-wise, as it looks. Normally they don't invest that heavily in campaigns. The Republicans must be anxious to prevent the rise of a Beshear dynasty.

I interpreted that line mostly as a means of reiterating her support for the current administration, not an attempt to play the ~*~gender card~*~ or whatever we're on about here. "How would your administration be different from Obama?" By choosing that pithy reply rather than delving into any issues, she's saying that her policies would be mostly the same and that she thinks that's just fine.

Republican Governors' Association has regrouped and is wading back into the KY gov race. Funneling $1.6 million into the commonwealth, which would give Bevin approximate money parity with Conway, at last count.

I've said this before, but Matt Bevin has an angry face and I'm worried he will murder an intern.

The GoP should have a debate hosted by Gamergate, or perhaps by the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers' Association

Those voters already started voting Republican a while ago. And the few remaining Dixiecrat holdovers would have already been attracted to Trump for the duration of this election cycle, rendering Webb's fiscally-populist/socially-conservative ideology redundant. Unlike Trump, Webb lacks charisma, fame or money. PupsOfWar fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Oct 31, 2015 |
