That poll was done a couple of weeks ago if I remember, and the gap closed rapidly as Bevin’s name ID went up. It’s about name recognition, and his money from the SCF will likely close the gap further.
Mourdock was 15 points behind Lugar at one point. This is doable.
I hope that it is doable. Mourdock was holding statewide elective office.
If it is not, I’m guessing that the seat will be gone, as the Dems will want to be in good position to either hold or re-take the Senate, and there likely will be only a half-dozen or so seats where money could make the difference, and this will be one of them if McC wins the primary. Still, if McC wins the primary, it will be ironic as likely he will either loose while seeing the Pubs take the Senate or loose and see that his stubbornness in holding onto the seat is what prevented them from taking the Senate.
It’s not worth the price of admission, but if McC insists on buying, one might as well enjoy the show.
