Kentucky US Senate Race (Mongiardo/Bunning) now dead heat! (43%/43%)

Frankfort, KY - A new poll by Garin-Hart-Yang Research conducted October 15-17 shows Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Mongiardo and Republican Senator Bunning tied at 43%-43% in Kentucky�s U.S. Senate race. Only 36% of likely Kentucky voters want to re-elect Jim Bunning, while 50% rate his job performance as only fair or poor .

Mongiardo said, "It�s clear that Kentucky voters are rejecting Senator Bunning�s negative campaign of attack and distortion. Instead, Kentucky families want a Senator who will work to lower the cost of healthcare, make prescription drugs more affordable, and create jobs in Kentucky. I am going to win this race because Kentucky�s working families are struggling, and they are ready for a Senator who will fight for them."

Now Mongiardo needs to get a substantial portion of that 14%! Honestly, I didn't expect Mongiardo to do become even close to being competitive with Bunning, but it looks like I may have been WRONG...

1. It helps to have an opponent with incipient Alzheimers....

While I'm horribly sorry for Senator Bunning, he does not belong in the senate. Dr Dan Mongiardo is MORE than qualified to offer Kentucky competent representation.

2. Bunning is probably toast

Most undecideds should break against the incumbent. This will be an important Dem senate pickup if it holds.

3. Any word from Bunning if he'll show for KET debate?

Wonder what time they'd air it...

http://www.drdan2004.com/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=5575

"With Kentucky voters showing increased interest in this race, I invite Senator Bunning to stop hiding and show up for tomorrow�s statewide KET debate. Now, more than ever, Kentucky families want and deserve a chance to hear our respective plans for the future of our state. I encourage Senator Bunning to join me."

5. It's on KET right now and...

Bunning (naturally) didn't show up. But Mongiardo is doing an excellent job anyway.
