McConnell is below 50% - he may have to watch his back in this campaign.

Surprisingly close, actually. I doubt Kentucky ends up competitive, but who knows.

McConnell tends not to win by all that much. Of course he never loses either.

Perhaps it could well be a repeat of 1996?  However, I think the Democrat here faces being dragged down by Obama.  I don't see the latter improving on John Kerry's performance in Kentucky - I just hope he doesn't do any worse...

[Meeker]

I'm not a big fan of Lunsford, but if he can make it more competitive I'll live with him.

[Lief 🗽]

I really wish Chandler had had the cojones to run this year instead of waiting to beat Bunning.

[Padfoot]

Well McConnell should certainly be watching this closely as he's under 50% but with the Democrats polling that far behind he's not in any imminent danger.

[Franzl]

I'm not optimistic. McConnell will win by a stable margin. A shame though, he's one of my least favorite senators.

A real idiot...to be direct.

His job approval numbers actually seem to look a bit better than I remember—they were upside down for a while.

[Eraserhead]

Well, we know that Barack certainly won't help matters here.
