There is only one small County that has yet to report and they don't have enough votes to matter. I don't know about recounts, but this cake is baked.

National Democrats shouldn't take too much pleasure in this win. I suspect Chump helped Bevin but not enough to overcome Bevin's many flaws as a Governor.

I watched it drop from about 32K votes with 90% in, to about 12K with 97/98% in, then saw it get to around 6000 before it finally went up again.

I think we won because 2% of the state defied koan and voted for the 3rd party candidate, a libertarian.

Now Beshear has a little more than an 8000 vote lead with only 22 precincts left to count. They are in Livingston and Barren counties, each of which has Bivin leading with the votes already counted.

Here is the NYT's running count page with each of the counties identified:
