Polls show that McConnell is in trouble in KY but I do not think he will lose during a Presidential year.
However, if the GOP Nominee cannot win KY it is going to be a rough night for the Republicans next year.

Maybe time for a 50 state strategy?
Cuz the formula which (just barely) worked in 2000 and 2004 looks real shakey right now.
Candidate Party Votes Overall %
Beshear & Mongiardo D 2,287 55.5% 55.5%
Fletcher & Rudolph R 1,834 44.5% 44.5%
This contest was nothing but a referendum on Fletcher. He tried to take on the deeply ingrained rodent corruption in Frankfort and he got screwed for doing so. Beshear is a return to the same-old, same old rodent corruption. The new Lt Governor is a slimeball, too. No doubt the new rodent AG will protect Beshear. Only Trey Grayson and Richie Farmer to look out for our interests. Grayson’s reelection was very important as Sec of State.
There has been a barage of unanswered ads running against him from MoveOn.org as of late.
That is true. I believe that KY has voted for the winner in the last presidential election in the last 50 years, and I think MO has voted for the winner all but once. They are perfect indicators.
