Notice that it was assumed that Democrats are "independent," but here "even" Republican voters are independent-minded. I worked for the Kerr camp, that said... Talked to one voter, "He said, This is the Nth time, I've been called, To Hell w/ both...I'm not voting."...(I'm NOT criticizing, just observing) it seems Kerr was 'out-hustled' for votes, while the ones that would have voted for her were harass enough not to vote...the 'RATs were gently coaxed to the polls....its seems a longer campaign, more/better resources, a more personal visits/approach by the Kerr would have helped...not to mention the slanted Media coverage..."the GOP was over-electeered, to a fault...taken too much, for granted"
Kerr's loss can only be pinned on Mitch McConnell and his ego.
1. He thought that he could choose the candidate instead of letting the Republican voters decided who to send into the election.
2. Kerr is an undistinguished State Senator.
3. Bush and Cheney said that they would make a campaign visit then did not show up. Makes you wonder why?
Mitch thought whatever he said would go and forgot that the voters do matter.
People better wake up and get their act together instead of being sheep.
