Dem voters will pull the lever for McConnell to defeat Bevins, who polls better against their Dem candidate than McConnell.
Once Bevins is defeated as the (R) candidate, they will encourage him to run independent to split the (R) vote in the general election. Of course the unions will trash McConnell and support their REAL candidate, a (D).
Whoever wins, the Dems have their bitch in the Senate.
