Who wins in Kentucky?

[Clarko95 📚💰📈]

Grimes would make a great Senator from Kentucky, but Turtleface will win unfortunately.

[Maistre]

The fine people of Kentucky win of course, by reelecting Mitch McConnell.

FTFY

[Eraserhead]

Also...

I'm hoping and expecting McConnell, but this is a tighter race than it should be in a Republican year. I think it will be very close with a small McConnell victory.

What do you say?

Umm, why? I would think that Grimes would be exactly your type of Democrat.

[Chance92]

As much as I'd love to see it be Grimes, I'm not optimistic.

McConnell's got this locked up.  The Democrats would be wise to cut any and all remaining Ad-time reservations/GOTV money for Kentucky and shift it to anti-Gardner ads in Colorado (where they really need to increase their spending), anti-Rounds ads and GOTV in South Dakota (cheap state, low-risk/high-reward situation), and maybe some ads hitting Ernst on being a crazy person (depending on what's left).

Why do you think that? Polls don't mean everything, but McConnell currently has a smaller lead than Perdue, Cotton, Cassidy, Rounds, and Sullivan according to RCP.

[Lincoln Republican]

McConnell.

We already know Grimes doesn't have the guts to come clean and tell the people she voted for Obama in 08 and 12.

If she doesn't have the guts to answer a simple question she certainly doesn't have the guts to make the tough decisions Senators have to make.

Not gonna happen. The race is too close and too important to give up on. Even if there is only a 1/5 chance of Grimes actually winning, that's still a 1/5 chance that Democrats take out the Minority (soon to be Majority?) Leader of the Senate.

McConnell by approx. half of his '08 margin

Should McConnell and Roberts fail, Dems will have majority. Grimes upset especially with early votes.

[Lief 🗽]

I'd like to see another poll of this race from a reputable polling firm. That SUSA poll was interesting, and even in the recent Fox poll McConnell's lead was pretty unimpressive considering how far to the right those polls lean.

Obviously I'd put my money on McConnell right now if I had to though.

[KCDem]

McConnell is the favorite until we see a consistent polling trend showing otherwise. Kentucky is a sad, sad place.

[Rockefeller GOP]

Teenage Mutant Ninja McConnell, sadly

I don't like Mitch one bit, but would you really rather have Grimes??

[CatoMinor]

The only thing that matters is who wins the largest cities in Kentucky [/Bandit]

[Bandit3 the Worker]

I just watched the debate. McConnell's performance was embarrassing.

[Bojack Horseman]

I'm thinking Grimes by almost the same razor-thin margin as McComical defeated Dee Huddleston in 1984.

I just watched the debate. McConnell's performance was embarrassing.

Wow, unexpected coming from you!

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

McConnell, unfortunately.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

McConnell, but it will be close, closer than I anticipated 6 weeks ago.

[KCDem]

McConnell got spanked in the debate so we'll see what happens.

[RogueBeaver]

Not the triaged candidate. McConnell wins by his '08 margin or thereabouts, always believed that.

The DSCC just pulled its advertising for the last three weeks in Kentucky.  Grimes is on her own.
