"SNIP.....

McSally now trails Democrat Mark Kelly by 13 points, according to the latest tracking poll by OH Predictive Insights.

While the April poll of 600 likely voters favored Kelly 51% to McSally’s 42%, in May it’s now 51%-38%.

The poll shows independents breaking more than 2-1 for Kelly.

good man.

3. Hopefully McConnell won't be around to have or not have a majority.

Today someone posted a story about McConnell being tied with his challenger for the first time, and her outspending him by several million in this last go around.

4. Mark would be the second astronaut to be a US senator? Am I right?

John Glenn was the first I do believe.

Not sure if there were others.

7. I think Bill Nelson from Florida too?

ON EDIT: His wikipedia says he traveled aboard a Shuttle flight, but maybe he isn't considered an actual astronaut. They classify him as a lawyer first.

8. I hope that Mitch McConnell's position as a Senator vanishes in November.

WTFU KY, you can do it.

9. This is such good news.

I just hope these trends continue. McSally has done everything in her power to make Mark Kelly the next Senator from Arizona.

11. Couple AZ where Biden leads in poll of polls +4

with Biden's home state PA Biden +6.5
and Michigan Biden +5.5

along with Hillary's states ... (none of which Trump leads - most not remotely close) ...

That wins the electoral college
