Chokes McGee posted:Louisvillian here. I'm utterly terrified about the election tomorrow because literally no one I know is even aware of it. Conway's campaign did something really smart and posted huge "VOTE!" signs in the most liberal strongholds (I.e. Bardstown Rd), but otherwise, I got one reminder from the ground game and I'm not even 100% convinced it wasn't just some guy in the neighborhood and not a campaign volunteer. What I'm worried about is democrats are usually a bit more educated so they know about things like 538. 538 has lately really reinforced the idea that polls don't lie. However, that's largely only true at the federal level. States and locals tend to be screwier because there are a lot less data points. So will democrats stay at home knowing Conway has it in the bag? They had better loving not because the republican is literally worse than Walker/Brownback. I'm moving to Louisville soon, so don't gently caress me on this one Kentucky.

My company was relocating me to Louisville next year. If Bevin stays ahead, I think I may just quit my job instead. Or I'll have to run for governor as long as I meet the residency requirements by the next election. Kentucky is a beautiful state and I was really looking forward to living there.

Does Kentucky have a recall option? Bevin did say he had no plans to kill the medicaid expansion, if people were dumb enough to fall for that but would be pissed off enough about him doing it, Kentucky could still be saved before too much damage is done. The real pain is Kentucky isn't a very charter-y school state, this is going to change that dramatically.

I think beshear enacted the expansion by executive order, so all be in has to do is strike that. Of course that's going to lead to a lot of bureaucracy elimination which is probably harder.

Here's a scenario I see being possible in kentucky, and it's the only Hope I'm clinging to. Bevin goes hard after killing Medicaid on the first day and institutes his Medicare drug testing program on day two. These measures, when actually seen by kentuckians, instantly sour them on their idiot governor and the state legislatures panic, seeing that they're all in danger of getting ousted at next election. They work on reinstating Medicaid expansion by law and override bevins veto. Bevin is neutered and spends the next four years totally powerless, as the stalemate in the legislatures never resolves.

Hahaha that shooter in San Diego is directly under a San Diego airport flight path so all arrivals are cancelled at the moment. One crazy dude with a rifle is going to really gently caress up everyone's day. edit: His demands to the police are that he's tired of being disrespected and wants a flight to Australia.
