McConnell has STUPIDLY declared war on the Republican base. If he loses, it’s his own STUPID fault.

Grimes knows that if McConnell is her opponent she wins. She also knows that if Bevin is her opponent she is going down in flames.

Exactly, but, how do we get that message through to the folks who will be voting in the GOP Primary on May 20th?

McConnell loses this seat.

Take it to the bank.

But wait a minute...I thought, since McConnell is an enlightened, lovable moderate and all, that he’d get those crossover votes and defeat Grimes! Isn’t that the recipe for Republicans if they want to win, per the Dems?

I thought about calling his office and telling the call taker that he/she needs to be putting out the old resume. Come January 2015 Mitch will be retired from congress. Sadly, his replacement will be another worthless socialist.

There could be a Republican in that seat come 1/15, but only if McConnell had the guts and integrity to leave and let Bevin take the nomination. He has neither.

Dear God, this is so sickening to watch.

Mitch McConnell is championing the fresh, new ideas of liberty and free enterprise to move our Commonwealth forward.

ROFL. Oh yes, just looking at him, I can see how "fresh" and "new" his ideas must be!

Absolutely correct.

Is Mitch menstruating again?

I don’t recall reading much about a Bevin-Grimes matchup. Anybody have a link?

Well, he thinks he is safe so he is going after those that might be opposing his ideas of a good Republican.

Too bad though as he is the typical Washington insider trying to keep his folks in charge while the people want change.

McConnell loses this seat.

That's probably a given. But does he lose it to a conservative primary opponent or to the [slightly more] fascist candidate?

I agree. McConnell is almost surely toast.

What surprises me is that the Dems appear to be contesting the race. Normally, when one of their crypto-fascist RINO “opponents” is up for reelection, they punt to help the RUNO keep the seat. They ran the mayor of Tucson against Juan “Lettuce” McBackStabbingAisleReachingRINO in ‘10, for example. After all, if they tried to take a seat from a RINO and he won anyway, he might stop doing their bidding.

Sorry, but he is expected to win in his district.

Maybe McConnell can shout “Help! Help Mr. Wizard!” and save his campaign...
