45 minutes before the polls closed the turnout in my precinct was barely 14% Pathetic.

Democrats waking up this morning to Bevin as their new governor have only themselves to blame. The three northern KY counties voted overwhelming for Bevin. I know there are Dems around here - my state rep is a Dem. Another factor was that every anti-Conway ad (the Dem) had a picture of Obama and a tag line to the effect "we don't need four more years of Obama".
I also learned this morning that Bevin's running mate for Lt. Gov. is an African-American woman. I freely admit I had no intention of voting for him so did not seek out info on him but I don't recall an ad that mentioned her (nor do I recall an ad that mentioned the Dem Lt. Gov. nominee). She becomes the first African-American to hold statewide office in Kentucky.
