They usually do. If Bevin is re-elected it would be quite historic.

He is our second Republican governor in over 100 years.

Are you kidding? They've probably won about 20 of the last 25. I'm 69 now, but for most of my life there was almost no such thing as an elected Republican. You could be liberal, you could be conservative, but you had to call yourself a Democrat to have any real change of being elected.

But times are changing. At this point 4 years ago Bevin's opponent had a 5 point lead in the polls, but Bevin won by 9 (I think). And President Trump won Kentucky by about 60-40.

Bevin's re-election problem is that he actually tried to fix Kentucky's bankrupt pension system.
