Does it matter? Everyone in this state is pretty much conservative, I don't think Kentucky even needs parties, the only reason everybody is a democrat is because FDR got their grandparents and great grandparents on board.

The reason why everyone in the state is Democrat is one of these three:

1) their daddy, granddaddy, great-granddaddy, etc. were all Democrats
2) they've been told their whole life that the Republican party only helps 'the rich man' and the Democrats help 'the working man'
3) they recognize that several local races are decided during the Democratic primary, because no Republican is running for the office

The third reason above is why I am a registered Democrat, although my actual voting habits in general elections tend to be more 60/40 Republican.
