Once it's All Said and Done...McCain Won the Kentucky Battle But Lost the "Electoral Vote War" to Obama

Kentucky was one of the first states called Tuesday evening for Arizona Senator John McCain. According to Pollster.com’s established election results, Kentucky, a traditionally red state, surrendered their 8 elctoral votes for John McCain 57% to Barrack Obama’s 41%.

The Secretary of State’s website reports that only 1 congressional district of Kentucky’s 6 went to the Obama/Biden ticket, this district was the 3rd Congressional district that voted for Obama. The reason why the 3rd district was the only district to vote for Obama was based on population of each area of the state. Jefferson County is the only county in the 3rd district and it is primarily made up of the largest city and most urban area of the state.

Additionally, incumbent GOP Senator Mitch McConnell won the states support over democrat Bruce Lunsford. The congressional elections turned out in favor of Dem Yarmuth 56% over Northup’s 42% and GOP Guthrie 46% over Boswell 42%
