in georgia, republican david perdue is leading michelle nunn 46% to 42%.kansas, republican congressman tom cotton is ahead of democratic senator marc pryor 45% to 43%. richard, these races are tight with just nine weeks left. how important is voter engagement this year? >> it's huge. let's be clear. some of the races aren't going to stay so close. for starters, there is little polling done. turnout is generally low in mid-term elections. ifan m you cilize voters, what looks like a close race now doesn't end up that way. what's different this time around, it's not like 2010 where you're talking about an economy that's really flat on its back, where democrats didn't see the wave coming. this isn't a gop wave election. this is turnout versus turnout. when you look at the democratic turnout machine as deployed by the obama campaign in 2012, it's a far more formidable base to start from than anything the gop has put together. so without a big motivating factor for the republican side of things, a successful democratic turnout can keep the races tight in many ca

in georgia, michelle nunn's chances were diminished after the run-off when david perdue came through as opposed to a candidate who was going to be much easier to tag. >> a whacko. >> to use a technical term. >> in allison grimes's case she's running a good campaign. i think it surprised a lot of republicans, especially that they weren't at this point able to catch her in some sort of slip-up, goof-up, first time candidate mistake. he she's been able -- >> in terms of the trajectory you see allison possibly winning this. >> yes, possibly. she's this a better position. >> you're a kentucky expert. >> yeah. i lived and worked there, covered the race there is and kept up with what's going on. i agree. i think kentucky is a better shot for the democrats for the reasons amy said. they have also managed to put mitch mcconnell, the incumbent who would be the majority leader. managed to put him on the defensive in a way he hasn't been in most of the races he won. most narrowly. i would say right now, we have a new polling methodology for the huffington post. a new poll. it shows grimes with a

david perdue at 45. nun at 42. nunn. kentucky, mitch mcconnell ahead more than five. kansas race is really interesting to watch. pat roberts, 37. greg orman at 3%. joe, go for it. >> these are races if the democrats can pick off one of them or if orman an win in kansas, even if the republicans succeed picking up significance senate seats, democrats pick up one and it stops them. so i think these are the three to watch. if, because i think democrats are going to try to pick off one or hope orman wins and somehow, unravels the majority when he decides what he is going to do in terms of caucusing with democrats or republicans. but gives them a shot. roberts doesn't do that for them, if he does win in kansas. >> mcconnell is, will be the majority leader after the election. that is going to be race where almost 80, to $100 million spent there. he moved ahead. he will win that. roberts, long time senator, congressman. stumbled a little early in the campaign. running against unknown, independent. not any democrat on the ticket. i expect him to win too. martha: always good to
