1. Waiting for Amy McGrath to announce

I think she'd tap dance on the turtle's head.

3. Same here

I still refuse to take her bumper sticker off my car after the loss to Andy Barr last year.

2. How can anyone with an 18% job approval and Russian ties win?

By lying through his rotten teeth no less.

The story of Russian Sanctions being lifted, Oleg Deripaska, millions going into Kentucky, David Vitter's wife getting a Court post, all connected to McConnell will MEAN NOTHING to the poor and uneducated in Kentucky.

Sad.

4. I used to think that it would be good for a conservative independent to run

to peel off conservative votes. But then I discovered that Kentucky has a runoff election when a candidate doesn't have more than 50 percent of the votes.

That's the same situation in Georgia. While democratic candidates can get a majority, a runoff is held against the democrat. The GOP does a better job with turnout for general and, especially, runoffs. Democratic turnout is increasing, but we have a ways to go.

I don't know what the situation is on the ground in Kentucky.
