What am I missing about what you are implying.  Are you saying that because a moderate-conservative incumbent Democrat is re-elected as Governor of Kentucky, the Republicans are in decline in the state (Commonwealth)? 

I stand by my prediction.

For starts, the census helps the Democrats in Kentucky. For another, the Republicans ARE in decline, as we saw this week.

How did we see that the Kentucky GOP is in decline?

I am just wondering, since I'm having a hard time seeing KY trend toward the Dems. The Democratic presidential candidate haven't won a larger percentage than 41% since Bill Clinton carried the state in 1996. The Congressional delegation in overwhelmingly Republican.

Didn't you see the election results on Tuesday?

I saw a popular incumbent moderate/conservative Democrat win the gubernatorial election, in a state that sometime votes for moderate and conservative Democrats (like Bill Clinton).

It goes to show that the Democrats can be competitive in KY with the right kind of candidate, not that the state is the next Colorado.
