Was this ever more than a part-time effort by Bevin? Did he take a leave of absence and hold events throughout the state? Or did his primary effort consist of putting ads on the air?
His ads have been terrible from the beginning - he is the ads himself attacking McConnell directly rather than using a narrator - that’s not a good idea - all of the blowback from “attacking” comes back on a candidate personally that does that.
The cockfighting rally incident which he elevated into a major scandal by denying he knew where he was when he was speaking and continued to do so even after video surfaced destroyed any chance he may have had at getting any traction in this race. I never expected him to win, but hoped he might be a candidate for future viability in another race - but after that, not so much.
