McConnell is harder to beat in reality than on paper. As the Kentucky Democrats have found out on more than one occasion.

Someone could at least try ... I know he´s well funded, so is the DSCC this cycle. I also know it´s a presidential year, but Clinton looks competetive in KY polls, especially if Drag Queen Giuliani is nominated. And the upcoming Republican defeat on Nov. 6 will certainly help too.
