We have to admit we were sort of hoping for a 2019 matchup between Matt Bevin and Allison Lundergan Grimes. It would have been like when the NCAA used to have the consolation game in the Final Four. We already know Mitch McConnell beat them both in the same year, but who did the public really dislike the most?
Realistically, we know it probably wouldn’t have happened. Allison couldn’t have gotten out of the Democratic primary, and we’re not sure Bevin can survive a primary of his own. But it could have been fun!
So now Allison is going to sit out a term at least. We expect it will be 8-10 years, maybe less if Jerry gets out early for good behavior.
