And Republicans are hoping Tuesday’s wins will pave the way for a GOP victory in 2015.
Although the party failed to muster the votes to flip the longtime Democratic stronghold that is the state House of Representatives, party officials hope their midterm gains will translate into added momentum going into next year’s governor’s race.
Currently three GOP candidates have declared: Agriculture Commissioner Jamie Comer, former Louisville councilman Hal Heiner, and retired military veteran Robert Rosier.

the importance of this should not be understated. KY has one senator who could easily be president, or VP. and the other is elderly. both FL and TX have Republican govs, making it easier to for Rubio or Cruz to be picked for VP or cabinet.
