This is, you know, home of lexington, university of kentucky. again, look at this. the beshear margin here sitting at about 36,000 and change. it was 10,000 for the democrat in the last gubernatorial election. so really drove up big numbers in those areas. then the other key here is eastern kentucky. i think vaughn mentioned this as well. coal country in the eastern portion of the state. youre seeing blue counties here, counties in the eastern part of the state, rural eastern part of the state t...

Behind the numbers, steve kornacki. >> hey, brian. interesting night to put it mildly here in kentucky. vaughn just said a 30-point win in this state for donald trump in 2016. how does the republican governor end up losing? you see losing very narrowly. basically there are three things to key in on here in terms of why did beshear win. number one was just monster turnout and monster performance in the democratic areas of kentucky. there arent a lot of big democratic areas in kentucky but ill giv...

57% of the vote last time. tonight he lost it outright to beshear. same thing in campbell county. bevin won this thing by ten points. tonight he loses it by six. so population dense suburbs in northern kentucky really dramatically moving away from bevin and towards besharear. thats the second part of the formula for beshear. those two things together wouldnt have been enough. the third ingredient that got beshear across the finish line here in kentucky, rural eastern kentucky. this is a part of ...

Well obviously. what do you make of the race with amy mcgrath and andy barr? >> well, you know, people in both campaigns said it is on a knifes edge for weeks. nobody knows what is going to happen. the barr people felt confident in their rural turnout operation today, but i know the democrats would tell you they had the best on-the-ground turnout ever they ever had for a federal congressional candidate in amy mcgrath. president trump went here, he went to richmond which is south of lexington. vi...
