In another sign that the 2014 U.S. Senate race has kicked into a higher gear, a conservative group allied with Louisville businessman Matt Bevin is opening five field offices as part of the effort to defeat Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The Madison Project, a player in Sen. Ted Cruz's upset win in 2012, is planning to open Get-Out-The-Vote, or GOTV, offices in Louisville, Florence, Owensboro, Glasgow and Bowling Green, the Herald-Leader has learned.
The offices will have paid staff and trained volunteers, said Drew Ryun, the group's political director and former deputy director of the Republican National Committee.
In an interview during the weekend, Ryun said he and his team had studied turnout results in recent Kentucky elections, especially those in Sen. Rand Paul's 2012 primary win over then-Secretary of State Trey Grayson, whom McCon nell backed. The cities picked for offices, Ryun said, represent traditionally strong areas for McConnell, so they're "going where Mitch McConnell thinks his strength is and kicking the legs out from underneath him.
"If you want to win statewide, you've got to win the right counties," Ryun said. "And if you're going to win the right counties, you've got to win the right precincts."
The offices are opening in coordination with several of Kentucky's different Tea Party organizations, and Ryun said he had been visiting the state since September to train staff and volunteers on the "nuts and bolts" of GOTV plans.

Maybe that’s why we viewers of Huckabee’s show this past week-end got the long lecture about “uniting”???
A defeat of this defeatist crony would be a great victory for the Tea Party and America. Ditto Linda Graham.
I'm sure Bevin will appreciate this help.
Who the hell watches Huckabee’s show? Who cares what that fat a** hillbilly thinks or has to say?

“As with all campaigns you can never have enough money, but I do think the ground game can be a great equalizer,” Ryun said.

That is true. Nothing beats one-on-one campaigning. Look ‘em in the eye and ask them to vote for your guy. People appreciate being asked, personally, for their vote. And, 90% of people who see the TV Ads do not vote in an off-year election.
Bevin all the way! DITCH MITCH!
I sure hope you Kentuckians kick little B!tch Mcconnell out of office.
Let us pray.
It’s always about “uniting” when the liberals of the party assume their candidate has the nomination. Just forgo your principles and support our leftist sellout, after all we are all one big happy family in our big tent. Just send your money, work your a$$ off for our candidate, vote for them and then go to the back of the bus and shut the hell up you embarrass us!
No thanks Huckster.
