Thanks X, fixed it.

[Maxwell]

Who would be the best Republican candidate to beat Conway? Bevin?

Bevin is probably the most likely to lose.

Nah. I would say Heiner is probably the most likely to win due to his money, but those domestic abuse accusations will cause problems for Comer in the general. Bevin's electability is underrated.

[Maxwell]

Bevin's lead is expanding, 35-30 over Heiner.

[Maxwell]

Yeah... claims that McConnell won't help out Bevin in the general will be proven false. As you might remeber, Rand Paul was far from McConnell's preferred choice, and they've developed quite the working relationship. I suspect McConnell will make an ally out of a former enemy.

[Maxwell]

92% reporting!

Bevin: 33.3%
Comer: 31.1%
Heiner: 28.3%

Tightening!

I don't think there is quite enough out for Comer.  And if I were a KY Republican, I'd be rooting for Bevin anyway.  Comer is Akin/Mourdock waiting to happen with that domestic abuse scandal.

Absolutely. And while Bevin is something of a snake oil salesman, he is far preferable to Hal Heiner, who seems like Kentucky's Mitt Romney.

I would be so mad if Comer pulled a last minute win, because against Comer even Jack Conway could win.

Congrats Jack Conway

The Kentucky State Board of Elections' website shows the same result as AP and AoSDDHQ - Bevin +83.  But they claim there are still precincts outstanding in Jefferson County (Louisville).

That would be good, I think I saw Comer doing god awful in Jefferson County (one of the lone Heiner strongholds).

Woah, why do you hate Comer so much? I thought your last negative post was being misinterpreted by my brain.

Domestic abuse doesn't play well in the general, you see. And I don't even like Matt Bevin much, I just want crass opportunist Jack Conway to be beat.

Why do you say Conway is a crass opportunist?

Because he is. The man has been on every side of every issue. Even MSNBC moderators like Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews have called him on it.

[Maxwell]

Team Mitch is impressed with Bevin's campaign, but of course they note he'll need the entire establishment to beat the dynasty.

And the move to Bevin and McConnell becoming best friends begin...

And Conway has been on both sides of the bush tax cuts, cap and trade, and we all remember Aqua Buddha. To be brutally honest, I haven't looked at his record as Attorney General, I assume it's rather uneventful.
