[Hoot Gibson]

The whole time I was writing that post, I was thinking about Obama. There is no doubt that Obama and Grimes are both of ultra novice status. Obama did attend a better law school but, then, who knows how he got in or how he performed as a student while there? However, to be bluntly honest, fair Alison doesn't appear to be half black. The blacks won't stampede the polls to vote for her. In a race for the senate, a Democrat cannot win without big votes from their "core" constituencies.

At this point, a McConnell loss would not be the end of the world. I think that he would have liked to have voted for the immigration bill. He certainly did not do anything to help defeat it - but I guess he is better than a real Democrat would be. As for Obama, I am not convinced that he actually earned a degree from any school. It is hard to understand why somebody who has no big secrets to hide would have fought so hard to hide his past.
