What's your opinion on a Chandler/Fletcher race? My guess is that it would be a nailbitter, like the Patton/Forgy race in 1995.

I'm really not sure. It depends. If voters want change, then Fletcher wins.

I think the race will depend in part if Nunn & Heleringer keep sniping at Fletcher after the primary. That could create some bad karma (do they allow karma in Kentucky?) in a close race, which it really should be.

This is a state where a visit from Dubya -- just one, not overdoing it -- might very well help. The state is clearly in tune with national Republicans, and I think they're ready to go that way at the state level too, so I'll say Fletcher pulls it out 54-46.
