PPP: Kentucky = swing state in a matchup with Hillary vs. Paul & Rubio

[HAnnA MArin County]

Hillary's position on social issues won't affect how she will do in Kentucky. Kentucky is the heart of Clinton Country. This is a state that Bill won twice, albeit narrowly, and we remember in the 2008 primaries that the Appalachian states were where she annihilated Barack Obama by 3-to-1 (and sometimes even 4-to-1 margins). IIRC, Magoffin County in Southeastern Kentucky was her best county nationwide. I think it the margin was like 93-5, almost a mirror image of Obama's performance in King County, Texas during the general election. Lol ..her populist message on jobs and the economy will resonate wonderfully with Bluegrass voters.

Also, FWIW, I remember seeing a poll out of Kentucky that showed while John McCain trounced Obama by over 20 points in the state, Hillary led McCain by 9-10 points. Her presence on the ticket could certainly bring back the old electoral map of where Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisiana are swing states. I say she defies the strong Republican trend in Arkansas and West Virginia and carries both states on Election Day. Call me crazy, but I also think she could shave off some of the margin in Oklahoma as well. I remember only seeing one poll out of Oklahoma that showed her trailing McCain by only seven points, which is substantial considering the Sooner State's recent voting habits of going Republican by over 30 points.
