LOUISVILLE (AP) - Here is a look at Kentucky's top races in Tuesday's general election, from the contest for governor at the top of the ticket to down-ballot races for statewide offices:

GOVERNOR

Democrat Jack Conway and Republican Matt Bevin square off in the race to become Kentucky's next governor in a pivotal off-year election. The winner succeeds Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear, who could not seek re-election because of term limits. The campaign turned into a referendum on President Barack Obama's signature health care law. Outgoing Gov. Steve Beshear used an executive order to expand the state's Medicaid program to cover an additional 400,000 Kentucky residents and create a health exchange, where more than 100,000 people have purchased discounted health plans with the help of federal subsidies. Bevin, a Louisville businessman, has promised to scale back the expansion and eliminate the exchange, saying taxpayers can't afford it. Conway, the state's two-term attorney general, has called Bevin's plan "callous" and said he would keep both programs. Independent candidate Drew Curtis was also on the ballot for governor.

That means just the conservative and liberal faithful will be out to vote and there are more conservative in KY especially on an year.

Yeah. I think it's pretty well established that liberals are presidential election year voters.

I’d really be curious to know how what one would presume to be politically active (or at least aware) Conservatives would ever equate Bevin with the GOPe.

A heartening story! Conservatives are finally catching on that voting is counterproductive.

You can pick any minor task, be it rearranging your sock drawer or doing the dishes and it’ll be time far better spent.

If Bevin doesn’t win he has no one to blame but himself.

I agree, but the (R) in front of his name held as much disdain in their eyes as a (D) would after all the GOP, treachery.

McConnell was busy helping Conway behind-the-scenes (as is McConnell’s M.O.)

Conway ran an unbelievable litany of ads that were direct copy-cats of the same ads McConnell ran against Bevin, just changed the actors to two old rednecks talking pie and how evil Bevin is.

Same crap. Different year.

Except the locals lap it up like flies to poop.

If Bevin wins or loses, get ready for a big Democrat win in LA on Nov. 21 to replace the unpopular Bobby Jindal.
