Neither. Attention comes to mind though.

A little, but Purdue knows him well. He's struggled big time against Edey in the past. Hopefully we'll see.

This tournament is freaking loaded. Love it. I'm a Purdue fan by the way. Hoping to see a PU/KU final. Good luck

No comment on the clean sweep by Republicans in Louisiana? By a 2 to 1 margin in every race. The SOS, AG, and Treasurer. Not counting Republicans won the governor race earlier this year in October. I guess democrats "winning elections" came to a crashing halt tonight. That gives Republicans complete control of everything in Louisiana. I'm sure you'll just say meh, it's a red state, but so is kentucky. Also Louisiana had a Dem governor the last 8 years. Just wanted to let you know Democrats aren't "winning elections" everywhere.

Temper tantrum by a celebrity . She'll never leave because they never do. Just biatch and moan. -
This is kinda how I see it. Pretty close at least.

Was it a "much" better night though? Dems lost 2 out of 3 in kentucky. Picked up a handful to flip the Virginia house and held the senate in Virginia. Abortion won in Ohio, but that's not just a democratic position. Most Republicans believe abortion should be legal to an extent. So when the option is should abortion rights be protected yes or no. Most people regardless of party are going to say yes. You're seeing it in very red states. Those aren't just democrats voting yes. I'd venture to say most Republicans, except the staunch pro lifers, would compromise with a 15 week ban with exception to rape, incest, etc etc. So I'm not so sure it's this big night some think it was. Maybe it was, I don't focking know
-
I still think it's relevant that Republicans have only held that office 12 years out of the last 73 years. Abortion is a big problem for Republicans. I said that when USSC overturned Roe. Abortion rights are winning everywhere it's put to the voters. Even in red states.
-
Sure, if you want to just use 20 years, that's fine. I'm not. Since 1990 there have been 2......2 one term republican governors. But sure just do 2000. Since 2000 the democrats held that office 15, soon to be 19, years to Republicans 8. Still think its 50/50?
-
The money spent was in my link. Total was 48 million to 30. I believe history is an important part of elections. Yes. 20 years in an arbitrary span to use. If 20 why not 30, 40, 50. You stopped at 20 to fit the narrative you wanted to use.
-
3 Republican governors since WW2, but I see how you made it sound more competitive. Well done
-
Democrats spent 48 million on this race to Republicans 30. It wasn't close money wise.
-
They're trying to make this something it's not. 1. Big name recognition. 2. Extremely popular governor. 3. History of voting for Democratic governors. 4. Out spent their opponent. Their only argument is abortion and Trump. If that was the case they should've won SOS and AG. Those other 2 were blowouts.
-
It's not lazy to state facts. Kentucky loves them some split government. They factually almost always vote for a Democratic governor while voting republican on almost everything else. It's been this way for decades. Beshear and democrats out spent Republicans also. I just don't get what's so hard to grasp here.
-
Oh boy are you wrong on the money issue. Beshear out spent Cameron by 18 million. Maybe most ever for a republican in Kentucky, but way behind the democrat. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/07/kentucky-governor-election-results-2023/%23:~:text%3DElection%202023,-Carousel%20%2D%20%24Election%202023%26text%3DThe%20Kentucky%20governor's%20race%20drew,far%20behind%20Beshear's%20in%20fundraising.&ved=2ahUKEwjRxPa31rSCAxU5tokEHWPwCmAQFnoECAwQBQ&usg=AOvVaw3Q_W_CKgE9utqkOTsTbVMt

I might have one leg, but I'm in way better shape then stick.

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.
-
I see him more old school moderate liberal. He reminds me of Bill Clinton.
-
I hear ya!
-
Yes.
-
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.
-
He's a portly fellow.
-
Beat me to it

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