Kentucky's U.S. Senate race remains a dead heat two weeks before Election Day, with U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell regaining the slimmest of leads over Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes in a new Bluegrass Poll.
The poll of 655 likely voters found McConnell leading Grimes 44 percent to 43 percent. Libertarian David Patterson received 5 percent support, drawing voters from across the political spectrum. Eight percent were undecided.

I'd pay good money to see him lose.
Rasmussen has McConnell +8
McConnell 52 Grimey 44
“A party leader and incumbent with less than 50% of the vote and a 1% lead; how utterly pathetic.”
With quotes around “leader”, as well as a /sarc. warning.
A senate majority without McConnell to undermine it would be the ideal outcome.
“Mitch McConnell on beating tea party: ‘We are going to crush them’”
This is the only race I am watching, hoping the gobbler gets axed!
The disaster in this Election is that it is actually up in the air if the GOP takes the Senate. Whether or not they actually do, they have already lost. This should have been a foregone conclusion months ago.

If Mitch loses and we take the Senate..who is Majority leader?
Mac wins by 10 pts
Cochran is no longer acceptable Senate material.
I don’t doubt your facts because I believe it is within him to do what it takes to protect himself and those he views as allies however - because I can’t stand the man and what he represents within the Republican party - I will ridicule the man, however I choose, juvenile or not.
You are wrong about McConnell and you will be pleasantly surprised. He despises Obama and is going to make obama’s last 2 years a living hell.
That sounds a lot more plausible to me. I just can’t fathom the DNC, etc. bailing on Grimes if she was in a dead heat.

I'll believe their actions over this poll.
After he passes amnesty.
Stay on target.
Unseat Harry Reid.
Last chance to slow or stop Obama.
Minority can’t do squat.
Two weeks from tomorrow.
