Again, it wasn't about Beshear, it was about the right wing controversial issues. The message was sent, take it how you like.

I agree with you and I disagree with all in one statement. Man, am I a politician or what:biggrin:

Last night was not about Beshear. This is the point I agree with you! However, it also was not about the right wing controversial issues either.
It was about the right though so again you are partially right in my opinion.
The Republicans did not put up a strong canadiate for Governor, plain and simple. No one likes D.W. period not even his own party. Because that was the key race in this election, turn out was very low for the Republicans and here is how you know.

Look at the Attorney General's race Conway got close to the same number of votes as he did when he ran for Senate. He got beat in the Senate Race with those same number of votes. So the question becomes what changed? It was lack of Republican votes for P'Poole. Why was this? In my theory, the Republican base was not motivated because the key race, the Govenor was basically decided in the primary, thus a low turnout of Republican Voters. If you were right about sending a message, Conway would have had 20,000 more votes or so, he did not. In my opinion, because there was no change of sunificance (sp) no message was sent about right wing causes.

O.K. another way you know that the Republicans had a low turnout look at Knox County, Kentucky. It went Democrat... this is a traditionally Republican County, why did it go Democrat, because of the low turnout in that county.


This all stems from a poor choice at the primary of putting D.W as the canadiate instead of Phil Moffett.

Just my two cents.
