McConnell vs. Grimes is the race to watch, if Grimes beats McConnell chances are democrats hold the senate.

To date its a toss up, but McConnell's positives are piss poor.
And Grimes has MONEY:

Mitch McConnell’s Nightmare Gets Real: Democrat Alison Grimes Sets Fundraising Record

By: Jason Easleymore from Jason Easley

Mitch McConnell’s worst nightmares are coming true as Democratic Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes announced today that her campaign led the nation in fundraising with over $4 million donated in the second quarter of 2014. 

In a statement, the Grimes campaign announced that they led the nation and set a new Kentucky fundraising record by raising $4 million in the second quarter of 2014, “Over 100,000 of our campaign’s contributions thus far have been under $50, highlighting the strong and growing momentum behind Alison’s focus on Kentucky’s middle-class families.

To date, the Grimes campaign has raised nearly $11.3 million – 
an impressive fundraising effort fueled by almost 84,000 individual grassroots supporters and a median contribution of $25. Our campaign has built a war chest of $6.2 million, equipping us with the resources needed to win this race.”

While it’s nice to have a well-funded Democratic challenger going up against a weak incumbent like Sen. McConnell, the bigger message isn’t the dollars. It’s the engagement. Getting donations from every county in the state is big. A donor base of 84,000 is even better, and the median contribution being $25 is great.
