I wouldn't be surprised if Edwards won and Conway lost at this point. But, that can happen.

FWIW, black turnout in the primary was 28%; I don't see why it would dip under 25%, much less down to 20%.

In the 2011 primary, which was the sleepiest Gov race in a while, it was 25.5%.

It actually increased for Landrieu in 2014 : 28.8% in the primary and up to 30.3% in the runoff.

I recall seeing you rated this race as Leans R after the jungle. Do you still think that's the case?

Hey Miles, does the media still cover the stories about Vitter's prostitute and the PI that stalked the sheriff or are they forgotten?

^ Yeah, I'm still seeing stories about it in local media. One of the popular talk show hosts, Jim Ensgter, for example, yesterday did a show with a lawyer that Vitter's PI targeted.

I want to see a better pollster here before I start to feel more comfortable about this race.

I did out the map, and the Republicans still do win comfortably.  Anyway, Kentucky is very much up in the air.

After tonight, I have a hard time believing that Edwards can win. If Matt Bevin can easily win, so can Vitter. Candidate quality seems to be irrelevant these days.

I would change my rating for this race from Lean D to lean R after the slaugher of Dems all over the nation but predictions appear to be locked now.

Unfortunately, I agree. I'll believe an Edwards win when I see it.

Conway was always in the margin of error. Edwards is leading by huge, significant margins. Edwards will probably win a lot more narrowly, but I say he still wins solidly, 6-8 points.

The difference is Edwards is above 50% in these polls. Don't let what happened tonight fool you. Edwards has an advantage here.

The problem with comparing this with Kentucky is that there are several polls showing that even if the undecideds to break towards Vitter, it still is not enough for him to win, he actually would have to flip support from Edwards. Scandal tarred candidates tend not to flip support that easily.

Except if you look outside Kentucky it wasn't really a slaughter at all... (Dems +3-4 in NJ Assembly, Dems hold all seats in VA Senate and +1 in HoD, Dems take over Public Services Commission, re-elect Jim Hood, and maintain legislative status quo in Mississippi, take over SCOPA, etc.)

Democrats also picked up a House district in Missouri while filling a vacant seat previously held by a Democrat.

So we won the seat in Independence?

Tonight does basically look like a draw nationwide, but the voters Edwards needs are a cultural extension of the voters Conway needed.  Granted, he doesn't need as many of them because Kentucky doesn't have a New Orleans, but this is a legitimate bad sign for him.

One doesn't really have to do with the other. Edwards is running against a scandal tarred officeholder for an open seat, who is in turn overshadowed by an outgoing Governor who is heavily disliked and accomplished nearly nothing positive.
