Yeah, "Safe R" is probably an exaggeration. Republicans will to still have to fight and devote attention/resources to the race in order to hold the seat, but I still wouldn't bet much on a takeover. I am disappointed we won't get any crazy Bunning antics though. The man brought a teleprompter to a debate in 2004. Who knows what he'd do with 6 more years of senility.
So would you agree to "Likely R" or "Lean R"?
I'm in the "Lean R" camp, myself. Jack Conway isn't Barack Obama and 2010 won't be 2006, but it won't be 2004, either.
Thus Conway's greatest strength in Kentucky.
Lean R
