Here's why I think you're wrong (tomorrow will prove one of us right):

In this election, McKinney is running by herself. She's never had to do this before. The Democratic party is officially neutral in this race, so they aren't doing anything in terms of voter turnout etc for her.

In the past, there was always a Governor or Senate candidate running at the top of the ticked, and their machines was what McKinney rode, along with the official Democratic Party turnout efforts.

From what I understand, she never developed her own "machine", but relied on the machines of others.

Interesting!
