Republican Matt Bevin has won the Kentucky governor’s race, according to The Associated Press, defeating Democrat Jack Conway.

Bevin, a self-funding businessman who unsuccessfully challenged Senate Majority Leader [mc_name name=’Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)’ chamber=’senate’ mcid=’M000355′ ] in a primary last year, overcame a funding disadvantage and Kentucky’s Democratic lean in state races to become only the second Republican to win a gubernatorial election since the early 1970s.

Take some time to mock this jerk

Dear tea party groups – IF Bevin wins you should thank Mitch McConnell for doing the right thing & going all in to help his former opponent.
