democratic governor before and not that long ago. the last democratic governor also happened to be named beshear because it was his dad. it looks like tonight they might make him their next governor. they may have him ousting the state s incumbent republican. again, too close to call at this hour. joining us to make sense of all of this is steve kornacki, our elections wizard. what can you tell us? to put this in some perspective here, you say 99%, we can show you exactly what the margin is, not sure why the pen is green, but we ll go with that, 9,947. and there are two pieces of gray on your screen. there s no vote here. now, this is republican county. here s what i can tell you, we
