At the state and local level KY remains a Conservative Democrat-led state. Even Kim Davis herself is a Democrat.
Those Democrats have no idea what to do, and are running scared ahead of the state-wide elections this November. Their control of the major state-wide offices and Majority in the Legislature is on the line.
The KY Attorney General, who is also the Dem nominee for Governor, is in a deliciously tough place. The rural Conservative voters he needs to win are pressuring him to support Davis. The urban Liberal voters (from Louisville and Lexington) he also needs to win are pressuring him to indict her or appoint a Special Prosecutor to go after her on misconduct charges.
And he’s flailing around badly trying to walk a tightrope between the two.
Thanks for the analysis of what is going on in KY. Very helpful.
