1. Trump pushed him over the top

Bad News …….Rural America loves the asshole

[CanonRay]

2. Kentucky appears hopeless, I'm afraid.

[Indykatie]

7. You Keep Thinking....Maybe This is the Year for KY Voters to Wake Up

Bevin ran on terminating the expanded Kynect Medicaid program under "Obamacare" last time. Despite that KY voters still elected him. So many in the state depend on the various safety net program yet they keeping electing people who are committed to destroying that safety net. Go figure.

[gldstwmn]

27. Trailing by less than 1% now.

[CanonRay]

41. I'm full of shit. Go Kentucky.

[standingtall]

3. Too early to feel defeated

this same guy just said Bevin needed to win Morgan county by 15%. He only won it by 5%.

[OliverQ]

4. But he overperformed in a couple other counties.

Although Beshear did win Fayette County by like 66%, 3 times more votes than the 2015 Democrat got.

Guess it will come down to Louisville, but Wasserman thinks Bevin is going to win.

[sweetloukillbot]

5. His takes now seem to be that Bevin is underperforming in Eastern KY

And the Cinncinnati burbs. Sounds like he's not ready to call it for Bevin yet.

[standingtall]

6. This guy just also said

Beshear won Bath Co. by 6% and he only needed to win it by %1. So Beshear is over-performing in parts of the State too. So yeah it will come down to Louisville. Also watching WHAS here in Louisville they just said there are about 7 pivotal swing counties in which it looks like Beshear is winning.

10. Just said Eastern and Northern KY #s mean Bevin is in trouble

This feels like Alabama a couple years ago...

[OliverQ]

14. Yeah, Dave Wasserman just said

Beshear is overperforming in Eastern and Northern Kentucky. He's winning coal country over Bevin and beating benchmarks in the north.

[standingtall]

16. Yep looks like the momentum is shifting towards Beshear

that bad news is it looks like Greg Stumbo is going to lose to Daniel Cameron.

[honest.abe]

8. Beshear appears to be gaining a bit.

Fingers x’d !

[LAS14]

9. How come CNN's been showing 44 to 56 and the NYT has never shown that big a spread? nt

[OliverQ]

11. Some decent news so far.

?s=20

Beshear is winning Eastern KY (Coal country) and Northern Kentucky in addition to the big cities. Bevin is under performing in several counties and lost a coal country county to Beshear by 4%.

[trof]

12. fuck

[LAS14]

13. And how come the NYT site has two maps, one of which has almost no results? Ah...

The big map is by precinct. So a county that is reporting shows all colored in the little map, but the precincts that haven't reported are white in the big map.

19. Was one of them Mississippi?

I was just there, and they were showing no results for Miss.

[LAS14]

38. No, clearly both Kentucky. It's much later now, and the top, smaller map...

.... has almost all counties colored in while the lower, larger map, has lots of white space left. It's the map from this link

15. According to Wasserman , thinks are looking up for Beshear

[Owl]

17. Sure doesn't look like it.

[sweetloukillbot]

21. I'm seeing unconfirmed reports that Bashear is up big in Fayette with most of the votes counted

Local journalist, just not reported nationally yet. Not sure where the info is coming from, but the numbers would erase the Bevin's lead.

18. bummer

with 32% reporting, Bevin ahead by 7 pts.

[honest.abe]

20. Beshear's best areas still yet to come

Cautiously optimistic.

[lillypaddle]

22. Thanks

Here's hoping

[ritapria]

23. Wasserman is coming in with more Good News

He was gloomy as hell about 45 minutes ago He said good returns coming in from Coal Country .. That hasn't happened in a long time

[OliverQ]

25. Beshear won one coal county by 1%.

Wasserman said Bevin needed to win that county by 12%.

Beshear is way over performing in coal country and Northern Kentucky.

[gldstwmn]

26. Beshear only trailing by a few thousand now.

[itsrobert]

28. Heavy Dem vote still out

Looks like the Dem will take it.

[gldstwmn]

29. Beshear pulls ahead!

Ahead by 20,000 votes now!

[Beakybird]

30. Looking good so far!

[budkin]

31. This other DU post makes it look really bad for Bevin

[Legends303]

32. Good news Beshear is ahead now, in fact that would be a good

sign he is going to win.

[sweetloukillbot]

33. Wasserman just called it for Beshear n/t

[honest.abe]

35. Wow!

Fantastic!!!

[Skittles]

34. delete!

[GulfCoast66]

36. I respectfully disagree.

We need to be reminded that it is impossible to judge until it is over.

Remember in 18 when all the national news were suggesting the blue wave had not materialize?

DU was like a funeral. Then around 9:00pm the real results started becoming apparent and it was Party time.

[dewsgirl]

37. Wow I haven't thought about that in forever. It was awful in the

beginning that night.

[backtoblue]

40. It really was hell..
