She is an attorney, a member of a respected Kentucky Democratic political family, who in 2011 defeated a Republican incumbant for the Secretary of State position with 60% of the vote in a red state. Currently, she and McConnell are rated a toss-up.
McConnell is said to be the most unpopular senate incumbant in the country. A stunning 62% of Kentuckians disapprove of his performance, with only 35% approving. Only 28% of registered voters say they will vote for him.
That will likely change. He's a crafty (and mean) campaigner, as seen in his dirty smears of potential candidate Ashley Judd before she had even decided whether to run (already bringing out her history of psychiatric treatment for depression). Although Judd had name recognition outside Kentucky, among local voters Lundergan Grimes is probably a better candidate.
Wouldn't it be sweet to see that chinless wonder get his walking papers !!! And to have a Kentucky seat flip from Repub to Dem !!!
