Decision 2007: Kentucky


New Polls out show a landslide win for Fmr. Lt. Governor Steve Beshear over incumbant Governor Ernie Fletcher. Fletcher still faces the fact that nearly half his party voted against in the primary and that Beshear has most of his party's backing. Fletcher needs to unite his party in order to come back. These new polls are impressive so we will have to move this race into the Leaning Democratic. Governor Fletcher can't be counted out yet since there have been many comebacks. President Gerald Ford back in 1976 was trailing by 30 points 3 months before Election Day and he was able to gain a 29 point comeback and almost win re-election. Beshear has entered this campaign from a bitter and close 4 way divided primary so he still faces problems so we cant call him the Governor-to be.
