Even though Kentucky was called for John McCain shortly after the polls closed, the Senate race there remains tight.

Incumbent Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell has a slight lead over Democratic challenger Bruce Lunsford, with 21% of precincts reporting. Meanwhile, McCain is beating Barack Obama 57% - 42%. This race will be an interesting one to keep an eye on.
