Damn... although I always thought Georgia was more likely to flip than this seat.

[Tender Branson]

Lunsford is toast.

[Adlai Stevenson]

My prediction:

KENTUCKY PRESIDENT -
57% (R) McCain
42% (D) Obama


KENTUCKY SENATE -
52% (R) McConnell
47% (D) Lunsford

Lunsford is toast.

I think Lunsford's unlikely to win either, but this poll has McCain leading Obama 56%-40%, and I think that's a bit wide.

But Lunsford being down 5-6 instead of 8 doesn't put him in substantially better shape to actually win, so whatever.
