Poor pathetic NBC trying to influence an election where Paul is 25 points ahead. It's comical that they think they're that relevant.
I think this race will tighten up, but Rand Paul is still in the driver’s seat. The Democrats had a contentious and divided primary of their own and Conway starts way behind in the polls. At the end of the day, attacking Paul for alleged hostility to civil rights (i.e. racism) isn’t a winning strategy in a state like Kentucky. Conway was already going to overwhelmingly win the black vote (primarily in Louisville and Lexington) anyway. Black voters only make up around 11% of the vote statewide. John McCain won 63% of the white vote in 2008 in Kentucky, including 37% of white Democrats and 61% of white independents.
