Schumer: McConnell/Lunsford "even-steven"

In today's Roll Call, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chairman Chuck Schumer confirms that their internal polling shows the U.S. Senate race between Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) and Bruce Lunsford (D-Louisville) to be a tie:

Schumer said Wednesday that Kentucky and Georgia - where GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss is in an unexpectedly tough race - are now on his radar as potential pickups given recent polling.

"They're both tied. Our private polling mirrors the public polling that these are even-steven races. We believe we can win in both of those states. We're devoting resources to them. In fact, you can go on our Web site. Our first Kentucky ad starts today," Schumer said.
