Haven’t been following the US midterm elections closely? Here’s a roundup of the most notable – and notorious – races.
KENTUCKY SENATE
Running Incumbent Mitch McConnell (Republican) v Alison Lundergan Grimes (Democrat)
Snapshot There is no single candidate Democrats would love to knock off more than McConnell, their Senate nemesis, who is so close to becoming majority leader he can smell it. And if any Democrat can crack Kentucky, it may be Grimes, a 35-year-old rock-star secretary of state.
Polling An average of projections has McConnell winning by 4 points.
KANSAS SENATE
Running Incumbent Pat Roberts (R) v Greg Orman (Independent)
Snapshot Last month the Democrats took the unusual move of suing to remove their candidate’s name from the ballot. That’s because they saw that the independent entry, Orman, had the only real shot at beating Roberts, 78, who has squatted in Congress for 34 years.
Polling Even. The average gap separating the candidates is less than one point.

LOL. He said, “nemesis.”
Don’t stay hope; just skip races with no choice.
I hope McConnell loses. If he wins and the GOP has the majority in the Senate he will do what the GOPe always does. He will lead them to capitulate on every issue so they can look like they are "governing responsibly".
I realize you and others are rooting for the democrats, but this is not their year. Maybe in 2016, the democrats will have a better year and you'll be happier.
I donate to Conservatives. I’ll vote for the Republican.
Hahaha..You’re waisting your breath. People here want to see the RINOs out and another 2 years of Reid and company.
