I know that we presume Senate seats to be lifetime, but would that really be true in a state like Kentucky?
Do you really think that Grimes could play the incumbency card if she spent the next six years aligning with Harry Reid in a red state?
Maybe the Scott Brown example is more apt. A Republican in a Massachusetts Senate seat? A one-time fluke of circumstance that was corrected in the next general election?
Would a Grimes win in 2014 be more like that?

Yes.
And do you really want to gamble that you are right just to put McConnell in his place?
