“There’s a Guam joke in there somewhere..... “

So are you saying that Hank Johnson runs a polling company in his “spare time?”

We’re beating 6+ Senate incumbents this time.

Maybe this is why Harry Reid has become so hysterical on the Senate floor lately

What I'm really enjoying is how the Democrats are now beating the living sh*t out of that little punk Nate Silver for daring to say that there's a 60% chance of a GOP Senate takeover.

If it comes down to numbers vs narrative, Democrats are NOT permitted to go off the narrative plantation. Cue Baghdad Bob ...

Knowing the Senate GOP as I do, there have been many predictions of falling Dem incumbents, only to see them snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I’ll also add that if McConnell wins renomination, I expect he will be defeated. He is absolutely toxic.

Harry Reid has simply “lost it”.

Nary a single poll has shown the KY GOP primary to be remotely competitive. There hasn’t been one in the last month and there are 2 months to go but I wouldn’t expect such a sizeable lead to dissipate.

Yeah; I heard Pressler was considering a run as an Indie in SD. Is it a definite? If so, why would he want to do that?

You are absolutely right. Polls show Bevin defeating Grimes but Grimes defeating McConnell. What do we have to do to get that message out to the folks in KY?

Since he's a backer of Obama, I suspect he worked out a deal with the dems. Underhanded POS.

The witch polls closely with both of them. The most recent I can find, by Wenzel Strategies from over a month ago, has McC leading her by 1 and Bevin trailing by 4 (with higher undecided).

Each Republican has a weakness. McConnell is unpopular and Bevin has never run a campaign before.

Ultimately I think the the harpy will lose due to Osamacare, like all the other rats.

Yes, though this has been a long demonstration of the Senate GOP’s incompetence at defeating incumbents.

Short of an all-out effort by Bevin to win, I don’t know. McConnell has been such a backstabber of Conservatives that there will be enough of a bloc that simply will not vote for him in November. I’m 2 counties south of Kentucky (in Nashville), and if I lived there, I would not vote for McConnell, period (I wouldn’t vote for Grimes, either). McConnell is a serious part of the DC dysfunction, and his removal is paramount.

It’s interesting how Rand worshipers give him a pass for endorsing McConnell.

You are so right. But, if you notice my tagline, I’m certainly not numbered among that group.
