I know but it’s still unlikely Doug Jones wins even though he’s great. But am so excited by the polls in the other battleground states.

I wouldn't totally discount Alabama. The blue wave may be strong enough to hold Jones. I won't hold my breath for it, but it is going to be a very strange election cycle.

Dems got their candidates of choice in Colorado and Kentucky and it’s all pretty bad news for Republicans (except for Alabama which is a lost cause).

I don't know what kind of deal she could strike or what she could offer, but I hope Booker helps her out.

It would be nice to send that turtle back to his bog.

I think Amy needs to speak to the issues that drew voters to Booker -- while also staying her moderate course.

She has a chance to unseat Mitch. She really does.

Yup. Multiple news sources now agreeing and calling it for McGrath. Although I can see the appeal for Booker, the fact is that the money-hauling machine that is McGrath has a much better chance of unseating McConnell than Booker did. She still has a ton of cash to flood the airwaves and Internet with ads. Plus her military background. Kentucky is just not progressive enough for Booker and the more moderate McGrath has a chance, a slim one, but a chance. Booker had no chance in the general.

Amy! Amy! Amy!

I'm jumping for joy!

McGrath now ahead by 2.5 points - big absentee tabulation tomorrow.

Yes. I was just in Cincinnati (Northern Kentucky) the last two days. While polls from outside the area seemed to suggest that Booker was gaining ground, locally people seemed more interested in Amy McGrath. I was impressed that she got Charles Bolden (former NASA administrator, astronaut and Marine Major General to create ads for her. And tonight's results seem to reflect that local support:

Will Booker win the primary in KY with their most populous county having ONE polling station?
