.@jonathanweisman McConnell won his last reelect just 53/47; Bunning won his 2 races with 50.7% and 49.8%.
Before anyone gets excited about Ashley Judd vs Mitch McConnell, Romney beat Obama in Ky 61-38, and we're talking Mitch McConnell.

@jonathanhsinger Can't compare McConnell, who has been bldg his machine for yrs, and Bunning, who ran for re-elect barely lucid. -
.
@jonathanweisman True. But Bunning's first race in 1998 was decided by just 0.6%—or as Rather might say, it was "tight as a tick" -
@jonathanhsinger Don't get me wrong. Who wouldn't be excited about a McConnell-Judd race? How do you attack Ashley Judd? In Kentucky?
