kentucky and the republican to take his place is a hard core conservative!

I wouldn't bet a whole lot of money, but I am pretty sure Bunning is the incumbent. Therefore, It is a seat they don't have to worry about...but it doesn't get the Republicans any closer to the majority.

[Sub-Driver]

well that's one over the mark......Lott will be the majority leader....sorry Tommy, maybe you can cry on CNN...

Kentucky is a neighbor and I can tell you that 30 years ago throughout the state Republicans didn't even run because 90% of the voting public were registered Democrats. A lot of things have happened to reverse that. One was the Dems approach to tobacco, but Clinton was the type that appealed to older voters especially when he did his humble country preacher bit, but they became completely disillusioned. I have a friend that was born and reared there. He was from Russel Springs and said at one time he was the only registered Republican there.
