Pretty good news tonight for Dems in Kentucky. And the abortion vote in Ohio. Could Ohio go blue next year?

I dunno. Women seem really pissed off about abortion. Will they still vote for the guy who took Roe away? 

[The Real timschochet 5,956]

And now the Dems are projected to keep control of the state senate in Virginia: Damn they’re winning everywhere.

Kentucky votes the way they always vote.

Yes. For one thing, a bunch of people draw a distinction between whether the issue should be left to the states vs whether it should actually be banned in their own state

Americans love their abortion.

Great move, Republicans.

That’s a sophisticated, reasonable position- but perhaps too sophisticated for the average voter.

They've had 3 Republican Governors in the last 50 years. They vote Democrat for Governor and Republican for everything else. That's how they roll.

I did not know that. Thanks.

Well, the greatest Republican of all time was born in Kentucky. They’ll always have that. 

[crackattack 520]

Kentucky has only elected 3 republican governors since WW2. This isn't anything new or shocking.

Someone needs to explain the voting history of Kentucky to GP and their readers

Elvis’ cousin is challenging in Ole Miss. Seems unlikely, but lol.

Yeah but both McConnell and Trump spent a lot of time pushing the Republican. I wouldn’t dismiss the result.

I would. Beshear is a very popular name in Kentucky. His dad was a governor and a career Kentucky politician. This is not the win you think it is.

Yup. Not news. It's what they do.

Beshear seems like an interesting guy. I’m reading about him. Seems pretty liberal.

I see him more old school moderate liberal. He reminds me of Bill Clinton.

You’re wrong about this. Virginia is very much a bellwether state.

you guys are true political savants, with these deep hitting discussions on state senate and governor elections

It’s a bell weather state. How Virginia goes so goes the nation. 

Youngkin’s shtick, running against CRT and trannies, had gotten old. DeSantis is discovering the same thing. Most of the public just isn’t as obsessed with woke issues as conservatives are.

Ohio is MAGA Country.  The ghouls that celebrate killing babies won’t show up next year.

Can you expound please? What specifically is happening in VA tonight to support this?

[crackattack 520]

So. Let's look at this. In kentucky, democrats lost 2 out of 3 of the top elections. Reelected a popular incumbent governor. In Virginia, the democrats will hold the state senate and win a few seats to take back the house. Maybe I'm not seeing what Tim is, but I always thought Virginia was a tougher place for Republicans to win. This would not concern me too much.

Most wrong post in the thread. You want Dems to win keep riding this abortion schtick.

Tonight is a referendum on Youngkin. Youngkin got elected by campaigning on parental rights in schools. But conservatives misunderstood the results- it was all about Covid and a temporary concern. Conservatives thought it was about CRT and trannies.
