KY Senate Race 2014: Getting lucky in Kentucky

[Eraserhead]

If he doesn't end up surviving, I'd be surprised.

[Eraserhead]

This race was over before it started.

[Eraserhead]

She's getting killed.

There is no reason why she shouldn't at least be able to keep this within 6% (unless she's just that much of a stinker as candidate).

[Eraserhead]

Feels like a tied ball game again.

[Eraserhead]

Grimes's entire campaign was a profile in cowardice. She routinely let McConnell get away with lies and obfuscations and repeatedly refused to stand for any sort of coherent ideology or vision. Good riddance.

I agree with all of that but the race is still very close (at least in the public polling). I don't see why they would give up now unless their internal numbers are bad and perhaps they are.

[Eraserhead]

Offing McConnell would be amazing though. Oh well.

[Eraserhead]

If only there was someone that said early on that this wouldn't even be all that close...

Still looks like it'll be fairly close.

[Eraserhead]

Politico compares Grimes to Todd Akin. LOL. Looks like the media isn't even trying to hide that they're on #TeamMitch.

Politico has always been in the pocket of the Republican establishment.

Would Alison have served herself better to respond something like this?

"Yes I did vote for Barack Obama in 2012, like nearly half a million Kentuckians did. Do most Kentuckians agree with that vote? No. But in 1992, Senator McConnell voted for George Bush and most Kentuckians did not. In 1996, Senator McConnell voted for Bob Dole and most Kentuckians did not. So instead of talking about one vote I made as a private citizen nearly two years ago, let's talk about the votes this debate should be about - the votes I intend to make as a United States Senator and the votes Mitch McConnell has made in the Senate that have been wrong for Kentucky and wrong for America."

Probably so.

[Eraserhead]

DSCC has jumped back in already. lol.

[Eraserhead]

Mitch losing would be a thing of beauty.

[Eraserhead]

A new (non-junk) poll would be nice.

[Eraserhead]

Uh, why couldn't he at least do the scene at the end with the dogs?

[Eraserhead]

There will be another Bluegrass/SUSA poll out today @ 7:30PM EST, I think.

Crossing my fingers. They've been Grimes' best pollster, if they show her out of it, there's probably no hope left.

Well... there's no hope left (or at least not much anyway).

Still curious to see what PPP says.

[Eraserhead]

lol

[Eraserhead]

If KCDem is saying she's going to lose, I think it's safe to say it's over.
