I suspect it’s something like that. I mean maybe BWS can help me out here but I think Kentucky like many Southern states has more registered Dems than R’s yet Kentucky went for McCain and Romney overwhelmingly. West Virginia is similar.I am not familiar with this county though since some parts of Eastern Kentucky are historically very Republican.

Exactly. Most of the Democrats here, especially in eastern Kentucky, are blue dog Democratic conservatives. Most of them are more like moderate Republicans used to be.
