Also, the first Republican ever elected AG in Kentucky. I post this because evidently the election in Kentucky is very important to the board libs.

Quote:Daniel Cameron, a former legal counsel for Senator Mitch McConnell, won his race for attorney general of Kentucky on Tuesday, making him the first black person to be elected to the office in the state.

He was also the first black person to be independently elected to a statewide office in Kentucky, and the first Republican attorney general elected in the state in more than 70 years.

The current lieutenant governor, Jenean Hampton, is also a black Republican, but she was voted into office as Gov. Matt Bevin’s running mate in the 2015 election.

Mr. Cameron, 33, will replace Andy Beshear, a Democrat who defeated Mr. Bevin to become the state’s next governor. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Cameron said he would “get back to the bread-and-butter basics of being the chief law enforcement officer in defending and enforcing the laws.”

Yep that seems to be the case.

Especially a certain one that rushed to post here about the Kentucky Governors race. Republicans won 5 out 6 statewide races in Kentucky last night.

Congrats to Cameron on making history! This stat surprised me: He was also the first black person to be independently elected to a statewide office in Kentucky, and the first Republican attorney general elected in the state in more than 70 years.


Kentucky (quick google) is what... 8% black? Would've thought they would have elected someone sooner.

Red state stayed mostly red, except for the biggest election spot up for the night. But keep trying to downplay it.

He could go far with his youth and connections to Cocaine Mitch

Actually, it's more red now than ever, even with Bevin's loss. For the first time ever, all but one statewide office is Republican and both houses of the legislature are Republican.

Read your other post. Wasn't aware Kentucky had been that blue for so long on a local level.

Much like many southern states, even though the populace is overwhelmingly conservative and votes Republican nationally, the local control by the Democrat party was deeply entrenched but that's been eroding for the last few decades, specifically since 2000. In Kentucky, the Democrat party is still powerful in the two major urban areas of Louisville and Lexington but slowly but surely has been losing control in the rural and suburban areas. There is still a section of Appalachia that the good 'ol boy democrat party control is hanging on but even there, they're losing their grip. Unless the US Senate removes Trump from office, he will still win Kentucky in 2020 by 20-30 points.

I was a registered democrat when I lived in KY 20 years ago. There was a conservative democrat and a liberal democrat. The primary was all that mattered. The repub candidate was irrelevant.

That's how democrat ky was in the past. An ahole repub lost to a legacy name candidate is not the blue wave deluded democrats want to see

I would bet you that I am not downplaying anything, but we know you have no honor when it comes to abiding by a bet. If you had any character at all you wouldn't even be on this board now.
