Plus, this campaign won't be occurring in a vacuum. The polls don't take into account the fact that Obamacare's implementation is still coming up. When people see their insurance rates dropping and find out they can't be price-gouged for preexisting conditions, it sure won't help the Republicans, who keep trying to repeal it.
Haven't you heard the implementation is going to be delayed till 2014 (at the earliest)? Neither candidate will be able to ride Obamacare implementation to victory (though this being Kentucky, McConnell will be able to sell "a vote for me is a vote to repeal Obamacare" very successfully).
We'll get lots of fun posts from Bandit come election time about how McConnell stole the election, right?
We know McConnell will try stealing it anyway. Don't know if he'll succeed.
Because obviously McConnell winning fair and square in a state where he's already done it 5 times in a row is absurd.
