But there are lots of B/C rated polls posted here at DU, including NPR, PPP, Zogby, etc., whose threads should be dismissed.

Regardless, I am trying to convey the idea to people who don't live here that Amy McGrath is not the rock star taking Kentucky politics by force that some people think. She just isn't. If she is the nominee, we'll take all the support we can get, but in the meantime, many Kentuckians are excited to actually have a candidate in Charles Booker who believes in *something*.
