This is probably because McCain himself isn't personally popular in the region, it just that voters dislike Obama so much more. A good portion of McCain voters in kentucky say they will vote for Lunsford at least in some of the polls I have been seeing. While I think money would be better spent in NC, while Dole is rebounding primarily because of her many T.V. ads, Kansas and Texas are still clearly at the lower end of second tier races and the DSCC should spend money in Kentucky which looks close rather than Texas and Kansas where the most recent nonpartisan polls show a double digit lead for the Republican.
