Jack can take all his personal attacks and negative campaigning and stick them where the sun don’t shine.
Looks like voter dissatisfaction with hack politicians extends to the states.

“In beating his Democratic opponent, Attorney General Jack Conway, Mr. Bevin surprised many in his own party, who believed that the climate in Kentucky was ripe for a Republican but feared that Mr. Bevin, a charismatic conservative with a go-it-alone style, was too far out of the mainstream and too inexperienced to win.”

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Surprised? More like broken hearted. The last thing the Repubs wanted was a real conservative in the seat. This is very good news.

Too mainstream. Yeah right. It seems at least the people in KY didn’t think so.

“... traveling Kentucky in a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban with more than 200,000 miles on it; on Tuesday, Election Day, he turned up at two Chick-fil-A restaurants here in Louisville, shaking hands in a last-minute bid for votes”

Political novice?? He sounds like an old fashioned politician who knows how to appeal to the electorate. Good job!!!

Great! Now they can recall McConnell and replace him with a real conservative.

Imagine what it must be like to be Bevin receiving a grudging congratulations call from McConnell tonight.

FReegards!

Terrific news.

And KY has had only 2 GOP governors in past 70 years.

I really think the tide is turning in this country. It started with last year’s Congressional elections.

I think Trump is going to win in a landslide.

The NY Times’ ‘mainstream’ it constantly witters on about is actually the gutter.

US senators and congresscritters cannot be recalled. This has been litigated in both federal court (Idaho, 1967) and state court (New Jersey, 2013). However, Mitch can resign if he wants.
