know how they are going to vote by now. But that’s not supported by any polls or experts.

But there was little chance she could win anyways. It's a southern state with mostly white people.

4. She can't win based on the Supreme Court. That issue helps McConnell. The area that could help her

is how McConnell and his wife are enriching themselves while doing nothing to help the people in the state.

In some ways it might help her to get the appointment done with before the election .

until middle of the week as weekend polling is often sketchy.

I think she'll remain in a tough spot.

Some friends of mine and I were having this very conversation. Unfortunately, here's my take - No matter how much money, how much phone banking, how much knocking on doors, how much this, and how much that -is being done for Amy's campaign, I don't think it matters. And facts don't matter either because here are some (and you'd think they matter but apparently they don't)....

Kentucky is:

#44th in Healthcare
#44th in Education
#45th in Fiscal Stability
#47th in jobs

Kentucky demographics are:

87% White
8% Black
5% Other

I quite possibility despise Mitch McConnell more than I've EVER despised anyone in my entire life. I wish more than I could possibly express that I think McConnel could lose this race but I don't. Having said that, if the Dems take back the Senate, McConnel will lose the power in which he has abused in ways I couldn't have imagined...So that's something...

I think we'll be good in Arizona, Colorado and Maine.

McGrath's campaign is all about how Mitch fucks his own state. The only reason they keep him is his political bullshit. They are dying to own the libs in that fucking dumbass state.
