Doesn't this guy (young gov in heavily red state) have the profile of someone the DNC shoves down the country's throat? I had never heard of him before. I see he's a legacy and that's likely the only thing that gave him a shot, but still. |

Bevin was also an ally of Bannon, so the GOP Establishment was gunning for him. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5351944&forum_id=2#46400479) |

People understand their local parties are more isolated from national parties. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5351944&forum_id=2#46400505) |

Date: June 7th, 2023 5:18 PM Author: Vivacious keepsake machete rehab I think this used to be true and is fading. COVID policy deeply impacted people's lives and that was basically coded by party once a couple of months in the pandemic passed.
The only other governor of a southern deep red state is in Louisiana, and that guy is a Manchin-type almost-Republican. Kentucky guy seems like a typical moderate Democrat, which is why I was surprised he's not promoted more. |
