She's pulled back quite a bit, it like almost 20 last week. sunonmars Oct 2020 #1

This is a very difficult race but I still want it to be close as possible. JI7 Oct 2020 #2

She is doing most things right ... Norbert Oct 2020 #3

McGrath is a decent candidate but she is not aggressive enough Buckeyeblue Oct 2020 #4

I bet he and others retire quickly after losing a Sen majority to avoid investigations. sunonmars Oct 2020 #5

If he retires, his replacement would be appointed by the governor, Tanuki Oct 2020 #6

But if the Senate flips that wouldn't matter much. Buckeyeblue Oct 2020 #7

I don't see him retiring Sherman A1 Oct 2020 #8

but the McConnell 'vote for me because she is worse than I am', is a tough hill to climb apparently.

I don't think she connects well with people. She had a chance to really confront Moscow Mitch at their debate but couldn't quite do it.

I think Mitch will retire in a year or two. I don't think his health is good. He has been falling.

I think he ran because he thought he cold lead a Senate majority against Biden to try to position the party for midterm pick ups. He may retire sooner if the Senate flips.

he might step down from the leadership slot, but until there is a GOP Governor to replace him, I bet he stays.
