A lot of Southern states trended left in 1992 because Clinton was a Southerner and Perot didn't perform that well in the South, but other than that Kentucky is to the right of the country as a whole. Obama probably did a little worse than Democrats may do in the future. I think the two Bush elections are pretty reflective of where Kentucky is. Having Al Gore from the next state over vs. having John Kerry made little impact as the 2000 and 2004 numbers were virtually the same.
Bandit is going to have so much fun in this thread -he is absolutely convinced that Kentucky is another North Carolina or Virginia in-waiting....
