republican one, the governorship of kentucky, and said that he would roll that expansion back. which is currently in the works. and so while that is in motion, the most recent news out of kentucky is that a democrat in the kentucky legislature, who just switched parties. he s a republican now. he s the second democrat since november, when the republican party made gains in the state, to switch over to the other side. so elections, state and local elections, man, do they have consequences. partly for people who are governed, because when a certain party wins, everybody wants to play on your team. and even when you re not winning, even if you have a strong chance of holding on to the very top post for democrats, the question starts to become, what is happening further down there, where the republicans seem to be winning. joining us now is the former chairman of the south carolina republican party, mr. dawson. thanks to have you with us tonight. good evening, melissa. thank you for havi
