But it's going to take more than that to bring McConnell's mood down. Recent polls show the Republican leading Grimes in the final days of the campaign. If he and his party do well tonight, McConnell may also get another promotion: Senate Majority Leader.

The Grimes campaign seized on the opportune photo gaffe, tweeting "Hey Kentucky: you have 5 hours left to vote! Make sure you know where you polling place is vr.sos.ky.gov/vic/"

In her final campaign stop Monday night, the Democrat -- who could become Kentucky's first female Senator -- said the state was "less than 24 hours away from sending our first female to Washington, D.C" and that Tuesday night would become "the biggest retirement party Mitch McConnell has ever seen."
