I've never followed KY politics all too much, but I'm curious as to why people on Atlas are always saying that Jack Conway is a bad candidate.
I look at his Senate results compared to 2004 and 2008 and I'm not really getting the picture. Bunning was a joke Senator and barely slid by in a wave Republican year. McConnell is an obviously strong candidate and slid by a bit more comfortably in a wave D year. Conway did less than three points worse than Lunsford in a mid-term year that was arguably the worst for Democrats at the time than at any point in the past 20 years, compared to Lunsford's run in perhaps the best D climate in the same time period.
What am I missing?
