Out on a limb

With about 97 percent of the precincts reporting in Kentucky, Democrat Steve Beshear had 59 percent of the vote, well ahead of [Incumbent Governor Ernie] Fletcher's 41 percent, according to results from the state elections board.

The Associated Press projected Beshear would win.

The lesser of the 2 evils won, I guess that's good.

I helped. At least we don't have a Republican for governor anymore.

Indeedio! I just loved the AP's bravery at calling an election with an 18-point margin and 97% reporting. Funny guys!

Good. Suck it hard, Fletch.

Heheheh.

He's right; Beshear won't be THAT much better. But hopefully he'll at least have the sense not to piss off all the teachers right at the beginning of his term.
