Where, oh where, are your votes, Mr. McConnell?

Looks like the Kentucky elections spiced up a bit over the last few weeks. Alison Grimes has Mitch McConnell, not too far, but far enough to trail behind her. Grimes has about 46 percent of votes while McConnell trails in with 44 percent of votes in Kentucky. This is definitely out of the ordinary for the citizens of Kentucky. Republican power is the majority of the state. Being that a Democrat is in the lead is a huge deal right now. The thing is, Kentuckians aren't really for a Democrat being large and in charge, nor do they want McConnell to stick around for more. About 50% of the people in Kentucky polled in saying that McConnell needed to be replaced. It seems to be that McConnell's biggest punch-line is failing miserably. He is trying to convince Kentuckians that Grimes would a be "rubber stamp for Obama." Grimes has retaliated in the (from what I see) greatest ways to really dig his grave deeper in the elections. Yet, other sources say that Grimes "line-leader" status is only a simple mishap; that it's not really accountable. Being that the elections are a week away from tomorrow, this is a complete toss up. So, who will it be? The hesitant but agreeable Democrat, or the unwanted but all-too-familiar Republican?
