November 4, 201510 yr Probably a little, but I think Conway was such a dud a lot of Democrats just stayed home. In the last two major elections we've seen high profiled races where the margins in Louisville have shrunk. I'm not saying Republicans are going to win Louisville any time soon or possibly in my lifetime. But if they manage to keep the margin where they are or any smaller it's almost impossible for a Democrat to win a statewide election.
November 4, 201510 yr Come on you know better than that. If he said I support what Kentucky has done with Healthcare, the common core is great, early childhood education is $$ well spent, right to work is bad for Kentucky's workers. In this sate it just would not fly. He had to run negative ads, it was his only chance. He stayed away from what he believed because he knew it wouldn't fly. Like it or not, and from what I have seen most on here will like it, we have gotten what most Kentuckians wanted. It is what it is in the state. One can be selectively positive. Conway was not. Regardless, look at the vote differential between Grimes and Conway ... 60,000 plus last time I looked. Bevin didn't win the race as much as Conway lost it.
November 4, 201510 yr Bevin's biggest challenge in four years will not be a Democrat. Those days are probably over in Kentucky.
November 4, 201510 yr Bevin's biggest challenge in four years will not be a Democrat. Those days are probably over in Kentucky. To be fair, the last time Kentucky elected a Republican governor, his worst enemy was himself... and that counts for a lot.
November 4, 201510 yr Grimes got 9,200 more votes in Louisville than Conway... yeesh. I feel like a mannequin with a "Not Bevin" t-shirt would have had a better showing.
November 4, 201510 yr I feel like a mannequin with a "Not Bevin" t-shirt would have had a better showing. Have you heard/seen Conway? That's kinda what he is.

November 4, 201510 yr I feel like a mannequin with a "Not Bevin" t-shirt would have had a better showing. :lol2: Most certainly.
November 4, 201510 yr Have you heard/seen Conway? That's kinda what he is. He's way greasier than that.
November 4, 201510 yr Still haven't seen a person of color on the Democratic stage. Al Cross, hardly a conservative stalwart, called out the former KY Dem chairman about that.
November 4, 201510 yr Jack Conway reminds me of a car salesman who's not interested in selling cars, but his dad owns the dealership so he knows he has to just show up for a while and eventually he'll get to run the dealership, but then his dad realizes what a waste his kid is and sells the dealership, and then Jack Conway is just a really bad car salesman who will now go back to being a lawyer. You know, that old story.
