Mitch McConnell doesn't sound very confident. He's worried about the coverage tonight.

Kentucky votes will start rolling in soon. The GOP's Senate Leader, Mitch McConnell, doesn't want us to read anything into the numbers. This doesn't make McConnell sound very confident:

Mitch McConnell's campaign is advising the media not to prematurely call the tight race between the Senate Minority Leader and millionaire Democrat Bruce Lunsford. Political forecasters show the race as leaning Republican but some have already written off the Kentucky senator.

McConnell, a four-term senator, has seen his popularity slip due in part to a weakened economy which has taken a hard toll on a state that is already one of the country's poorest. Lunsford has tried to capitalize on this by promising change that only Democratic leadership can bring.

"Because of the high profile of this race and the early poll closings in Kentucky, there will undoubtedly be a rush to assess the Senate race," McConnell's campaign said in missive titled "What to expect in the Kentucky Senate race."
