As a Kentuckian the idea of giving Baby Doc Andy, the baby faced despot, any more power than he has now is repulsive and frightening.
It is indeed. He is as Left as they come, but passes himself off as mainstream - adequate and brilliant marketing. He is going to be a problem nationally - if not this election cycle definitely in the future. He was never put on the defensive and was able to cast the Republican as “extreme” the whole race and the Republican had far fewer resources to fight back or define himself - it was Beshear who should have been on the defensive.
This is why Cameron should have been fully funded and national attention paid to our governor’s race by the conservative media / talk show circuit nationally. But it was pretty much ignored. Leaving Beshear on the bench was a huge mistake.
