McConnell's in trouble

Its looking like he and Lunsford are in a statistical tie. I didn't think it possible that McConnell would be in such jeopardy of losing his seat as the highest ranking Republican in the Senate. Maybe my absentee ballot will get counted after all.



Edit: On second thought, it may not be as close as some people are saying. The point still stands, though, that the Senate's top Republican is getting much more of a fight than he probably should, given his status. However, if Lunsford manages to pull this one out, Chandler takes over Bunning's seat in 2010 (which is quite likely), and Dems pick up a couple House seats in or around the Lexington/Louisville areas, Kentucky could see a majority Democrat delegation. Who'da thunk it?

  1. The real question is why do we have to choose between Mitch "pork barrel" McConnell and Bruce "I'm obviously a crook" Lunsford. Leffel you're a jerk. Politics are angering me. Thank goodness it'll be over tomorrow.
