Bevin Conway by a very narrow margin. Could see it going either way

Voted Curtis sheerly because I predict him winning five to eight percent of the vote by people who are moderate Republicans, despise both candidates, and a fair amount of independents.
I understand a lot of moderate Republicans and mainstream conservatives aren't thrilled with Bevin (myself included).  Conway even has a long list of "Republicans for Conway" on his website.  I could see Curtis siphoning off a lot of those voters, but I could also see Conway picking up a lot of those same Republicans who see him as an acceptable alternative to Bevin.  With that in mind, I predict that Conway will win narrowly.

Any chance that some moderate/conservative Democrats will vote for Bevin or Curtis?

Curtis but not Bevin. Almost everyone who might vote for Bevin stopped calling themselves a Democrat a long time ago.
What about Kim Davis?

I've heard that, and that's why I predict Conway will win.  Too many mainstream conservatives have been put off by Bevin.  Many of them are publicly supporting Conway, myself included.  The fact that Democrats haven't put this race away with that kind of defection is remarkable.
