KY is one of the “Bible Belt” states. When I lived in Louisville, on Sundays traffic cops were everywhere on the main roads by church entrances/exits directing traffic due to the massive amount of cars wanting to pull out of church parking lots. SMH
Didn’t republicans win every other race in KY?
Seems like people just didn’t like Bevin then
Wow. Father, we don’t understand how or why these things happen but our trust is still in You.
“...Beshear defeated Bevin by a 49-48 percent margin.”
Rats are already running with this as turning point in the 2020 election.
The Kentucky and Virginia results have me depressed. How can any sane people vote for the Marxist, racist, insane Democrats? What has happened to our country, our culture, our society? Why don’t people want decency, beauty, goodness and truth?
This result was about Bevin, not abortion. Bevin was a weak candidate and an unpopular governor.
With a race this close a few million in dark money can make the difference.
With such a close margin, it’s too early and too close to call. I don’t buy this verdict.
There no longer exists in America a consensus of moral values. Sorry but you have the spectacle of vile pseudo Christian preachers supporting and embracing abortionist Democrats, accepting their blood money and then leading their gullible flocks to the polls. Sad and sickening.
A little too much pearl clutching going on. Bevin was a good governor and he wasn’t afraid of a good fight. His problem is that he picked one too many fights with the public sector unions who then spent a buttload of money to defeat him.
Beshear’ s father was a do nothing governor, and I’m hoping his son didn’t fall too far from the tree.
Bevin just seemed to have near an Evan Mecham (AZ) penchant for saying things that irritate others, making him the *least* popular governor in the US. Among his gaffs:
1) Has made an anti-vaxx statement.
2) Objected to school closings in record cold weather with subzero windchill. Go into a spat with Al Roker.
3) Made a disparaging racial remark at an inner city school.
4) Called for an “honest conversation” about violence in video games, movies, and music after a mass shooting.
5) McConnell ran ads dubbing Bevin an “East Coast con man,” when Bevin challenged him in the primary.
6) Was caught on video at a pro-cockfighting rally.
Thanks for posting. It’s in your hands men. Use it wisely. Allowing eugenicist’s puppets to slaughter your son or daughter is not wise.

I live in KY. I can tell you that this election solidified my belief that, in the long run, this whole country is screwed. The reason: Anyone who is elected an chooses to solve the problems by making the tough choices will become very unpopular to those whose ox is being gored (in this case the teachers) and be swiftly voted out of office.
However, the results were actually good. the R’s swept everything else, he came ridiculously close to winning, and the state house is all R. Our new governor is surrounded by R’s at every turn.
And this proves the effectiveness of Trump. Bevin beat being behind by 15 points to losing by a gnat’s hair.
Once again, too many Republicans stayed home. People don’t understand we need turnout to defeat the cheating.
I was talking with a friend last night, a Kentucky attorney, who said that Bevin was very unpopular, especially with the public school teachers and their union. He said that the teachers pension is woefully underfunded, because of Democrats’ involvement with it in the past. Apparently Bevin tried to rehabilitate it, but it would have meant the teachers would have to put some skin in the game, and the teachers revolted. They squealed enough to bring some fence-sitters over to their side, the result of which is that Beshears won by only 5,000 votes.
Public school teachers and their Marxist unions have destroyed public education in this country. Had my wife and I had any children we never would have sent them to a public school, ESPECIALLY in Illinois.
On the bright side, all other major state races in Kentucky went to Republicans.
Bevin was a terrible candidate. The GOP needs to stop being shills for immigrant cheap labor and saying that opposition to lowering living standards is “Socialism” or they will get crushed in 2020.
I wouldn’t get too choked up over this one.
‘It’s in God’s hands now.’
it’s been in God’s hands since 1973, has it not, soon to be 47 years and still counting...
Victory by 5,000 votes; Libertarian spoiler got 28,000.
