Who did you vote for? KY Governor?

Please bring up the race card. Which stage was more diverse last night? Can you name 1 person of color who was on the Dems stage last night?

 

The first black woman elected in a statewide election is a Republican. No revisionist history can change that.

If you wish to score diversity points by citing the election of Jenean Hampton, go for it. No objection there. But your "which stage was more diverse?" argument is lame. If you so desire, I can start listing the number of minority legislators in Frankfort by party ... or do similar with members of Congress ... or cite recent (90-10) voting patterns in presidential elections.

I'm asking about a SPECIFIC stage last night. No obfuscation by you.

So you're not trying to make a broad-brush generalization based on the composition of a specific stage last night? Fooled me. Carry on.

I asked a simple question, which stage was more diverse?

Speaking from my little Republican stronghold neck of the woods, Obama was the downfall. I listened to many of them over the past few months. "That Conway's fer Obama. I'm votin' for that other feller." The hate for Obama was the deciding factor here. I'll let you all speak for your counties. While people aren't fond of negative ads, it has been shown time and time again that they are effective. I do know that an anti-coal dark skin fellow would be lucky to get a handful of votes in my area. Bevin and the Republicans did the prudent political thing in linking Conway to Obama. I would have done the same if I had been interested in winning. No brainer...

You do realize that we just voted in a black Lt. Governor, right?! And a female at that!

 

Most people had no idea who the running mates were. You have too much faith in the voting public. The only thing the folks around here knew was that Conway = Obama !

And I asked a companion question: What generalizations are you attempting to draw from your one-time snapshot of GOP diversity?

I know 30% is an embarrassingly low number, but I've never seen turnout in a pie-chart. The visualization is striking. How sad.

[lawildcat]

Man, that is so sad!

[75center]

That chart is more than sad, it's embarrassing!

[All Tell]

The really sad thing is that the 30% that bothered to vote was about 10% more then estimates prior to the vote said would cast ballots.
