But McConnell is such a nice guy. He wants to be kind to Democrats, and reinstate the super majority rule as soon as Republicans regain the Senate. What a peach he is!

That 13 percent is “in charge” in Boone County, one can surmise.

Boone County Kentucky is suburban Cincinnati, about 100,000 people. Not a make or break place.

100,000 is a pretty big county, in KY. Per the article:

Boone County is a vital part of any GOP turnout and has the fourth highest number of registered Republican voters the state.

McConnell was pounding Bevin pretty hard, in his ads, for a while. (I'm in W. KY a good part of the time.) Haven't seen many ads either way, recently. I wish KY could find a better candidate than Bevin. He's good on most issues, but he has some other vulnerabilities. If I was voting there, my decision might turn on whether or not I thought the US Senate was going to be "close" in 2014, and "can Bevin win the general?" Losing that seat could be disastrous.

It might be even bigger from the money angle.

Just make sure he is vetted first and foremost.

“If he had a shred of honor, McConnell would announce soon that he will not run for re-election.”

Ditto for Thad Cochran from MS

God Bless America!

One of these days, the "indications" will be matched at the polls.

Then I'll consider a bit of praise for the selfish, greedy, I-got-mine-so F-U... voters that make up America.

McConnell's going at him with a flamethrower so I think we'll know as much about Bevin as can be known.
