Of course, his opponent was "anyone but Obama", who got all the rest of the vote.

This from your cite:

Voter turnout in Kentucky was just shy of 14 percent,

What was your point again?

No point......just small infrequent moments of perceived joy/comfort......during a long slow tortuous defeat at the hands of democrats.


Like ten second rain sprinkle during a years long desert drought.......it feels so awesome that one has to share the joy.......

Like when Baroccoli O’Fuckup FARTS (i.e., babbles) and the idiotic Left fall all over themselves (e.g., Chris “Drooling-Thrill-Up-My-Leg” Matthews), in a fevered attempt to sneak the smallest wiff -- savoring every aromatic, moronic morsel?!!
 
 JOY!!!

When you figure that the electorate is generally divided up in 1/3rds (1/3 "liberal", 1/3 "independent" and 1/3 "conservative"), when a candidate can only get about 2/3rds of his own portion to vote for him, when he is the only name on the ballot, I figure he is having some problems with the other two groups of 3rds as well.

I did not vote in the primary, no reason to. We have our pick, look at how poorly Willard did against people on book tours.

The vote is in Nov, and pollsters can make anyone look good or bad, well at least that is what 53% of them say

The fact that he is really running uncontested and gets more votes than romney does in his primary (also uncontested) says exactly what when we examine the larger issue?

And the thirds rule is somewhat dubious, and certainly doesnt hold for anything other than general elections.

Are you talking about the US, or state senate ? I thought Rand Paul was just elected the last time around and will have 4 more years till he's up again.

Historically, the majority of undecides swing toward the challenger, the incumbent's record having been well established.

Well, these are the primaries, and you're smarter than this.

No question both Obama and Romney have soft support from their base.
No question they will be their parties' nominees.
No question the rank and file will rally around the nominee, given the threat of the other party winning.

This election comes down to three things:
1) independents. Here, Romney isn't doing great, letting Obama get away with lack luster support. At least for now.
2) Who registers the most voters. This is probably the key point in this election.
3) Getting those voters out to the polls. This is going to be a problem for both parties this election.

Hey I need to apologize the dates weren't right. One was a few days early and Decidedly Pro-Paul ... apparently there are republicans down their that strain credulity. And the other was the right part of the month/week but it was 2010 ... that's what I get for not wearing my glasses. Anyway
There remaining info is in the first article, so I'll presume it might be true. Though the guy was way off in his estimate on Paul.
Again, my apologies. That said ...
They're districts, so I'm presuming they're state senate seats. But apparently the two most contentious in the state. And Yeah, I know they were dumb enough to elect Paul ... heh the republicans have their nerve calling Obama a metrosexual when they have that Heteroswish douching his way around the senate.

Florida is just plain troubling ... but no worries the seas continue to rise... But we really ought to dump a nuke on the Greenland Glacier anyway.

What are you talking about? I'm talking about the U.S.

In New York specifically, Obama's already won the election, and by at least 20 points.

According to my buddy nashville, Tn , the redistricting in the state has created some sections of the state which have a rapidly growing democratic population.
Where that'll go in a few years (like say 2016 is up to them).
