The polls have it close now. The better Obama does in Ky, the better the chance of beating McConnell. Today's local paper noted that it was strange how the Senate race is close, but Obama still seems to be behind. Obama is now running television ads here but since the Democratic party here has not provided any Obama/Biden yard signs or other material, it looks as if McCain is unopposed.
Yesterday we went to a huge vendor's fair (called "Court Days" here). There were booths there from Africa, South America and all over. The crowd was estimated at 60,000! There were several vendors selling, among other things, Obama hats and T shirts. I saw nothing for sale RE McCain. Pam got a pretty white Obama hat and a Bob Marley sweater from Ecuador.
