Final Results:
Now that John Bel Edwards (D) has won in Louisiana (winning by a 56-44 margin when almost no one thought he would win a month ago), the results of the 2015 governor races are that republicans gained a governorship in Kentucky and democrats gained a governorship in Louisiana, for no net change in the number of republican and democratic governors.
On the other hand, these results could be seen as losses for the establishment of both parties.
Mark Bevin (R), the governor-elect of Kentucky, last year challenged Mitch McConnell (R) in his senate primary, and has endorsed Ben Carson (R) for president over both establishment candidates and Rand Paul (R), who is from the same state.
John Edwards (D), the governor-elect of Louisiana has stances on guns and abortion, that while they are popular in Louisiana (and other states) means that he wouldn't be allowed into a debate for president in the democratic party.
