Bevin Concedes Race for Kentucky Governor

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) conceded the race for governor Thursday, ending more than a week of speculation over whether he would contest the results of the Nov. 5 election, which he narrowly lost to Andy Beshear (D), the Lexington Herald Leader reports.

Only a Zero would concede an election that close what with all the illegals voting. Guy has no brains.

RW power. He's made a striking exception to get this out of his way as he runs for reelection.

He may actually have made this decision in consultation with China, i.e., while arranging for any additional support he might claim to need. And/or Russia. But he's been serving the Chinese plutocrats who've provided all the campaign funding he needs, and more, far longer than Moscow. We think.

In any case, it'd be interesting to know how many Repub governors those behind Mitch, enemies foreign and domestic, would sacrifice to keep him as Senate majority leader.

Bevin did not have Republican support for a long, drawn out fight which indicates his all around unpopularity within party ranks.

Beshear can now get down to business without a cloud hanging over his head.
