(In this same election, McCain carried KY over Obama by a vote of 1,048,462 to 751,985. So there were almost 95,000 voters who refused to support McConnell even though they picked McCain.)
2002:
McConnell: 731,679 (64.7 percent)
Lois Combs Weinberg: 399,634 (35.3 percent)
1996:
McConnell: 724,794 (56.4 percent)
