Poll: Senate GOP Leader Barely Ahead In Re-Election Race
By kleefeld - June 17, 2008, 5:33PM


In what is shaping up as a plum pickup opportunity for Senate Dems in a very unlikely place, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell could be in for a very serious race this fall, according to a new SurveyUSA poll of Kentucky.

The numbers: McConnell 50%, Democratic businessman Bruce Lunsford 46%, within the ±4% margin of error. A Rasmussen poll from a few weeks ago gave Lunsford the lead, coming right off of his primary victory.

McConnell has had the unenviable task of defending President Bush's Iraq positions on a daily basis. If the political environment turns out to be such that the Democrats can win this one, then the GOP will start finding it very difficult to prevent the Dems from getting a 60-seat majority.

1. Boy, I'd like nothing more than to see this pasty faced asshole given his walking papers.

[bdamomma]

2. get McConnell out.

[whistle]

3. Does McConnell wear adult diapers

[racaulk]

4. That's payback for Tom Daschle, as far as I'm concerned.

:woohoo:

[kentuck]

5. If Obama were stronger in KY...?

McConnell would be gone.

[gratuitous]

6. The unmitigated good news part of this

Every dollar that a nervous Mitch has to spend propping up himself is one dollar less the Republicans have to pass through or spend on another race. McConnell may survive, but it's a sure thing he'll find himself leading an even smaller minority.
