True, but Bevin is particularly unpopular. I have no idea how much of that is due to typical media bias and how much is due to Bevin’s avoidable self-inflicted wounds, but it sounds like he has done plenty to hurt himself.
Republicans apparently won all of the other statewide races even with the higher turnout.
Don’t buy into the ‘not popular’ media blitz.
Many have been happy with his standing up to the teacher union cabal. Trying to save the failing schools. Trying to save the bankrupt retirement system. Good job market. Pro-Life, Pro-2A, pro-Free Speech. Yes, many really liked him.
One word..... Coal.
The unions in KY want a stranglehold on their 1.) Exhorbitant pension schemes, especially Am. Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) 2)the Kentucky Teachers Assn-closely allied with the WV striking teachers at the time/
3) the toll road crap in Ky is a major embarrassment. The tolls benefit exactly whom? Not the democrap “working man” routine in their propaganda. Fiefdoms— democrap fiefdoms, but somehow they dodge the exposure.
