October 13, 201411 yr It's important because he want's to inject himself into these discussions as the voice of reason when in fact he has a vested interest in a Grimes win. He was not so sure about that when she wasn't going to give him a job and as for issues the candidate herself has not addressed one issue other then she's not McConnell. Again, he caused this by airing his family laundry on a public forum so it's fair game. Do we have to "go there" just because it's possible?
October 13, 201411 yr Do we have to "go there" just because it's possible? Probably not BUT in the interest of fairness and full disclosure shouldn't everyone know that when he speaks of the glowing character and integrity of ALG that he is doing so as a family member and campaign staffer rather then just a political junky like I've sadly become? FWIW as soon as Grimes stepped into this fray she and her entire family had to know the :poop: storm she was stepping into. Maybe that's why Judd and Henry turned the Dem machine down.

C'mon...does anyone in this forum not know what's been said in the past by any other member? :lol2: The people who post here have the longest memories of any of BGP's long list. :lol2: I don't think you're shedding new light. I just think that if we're all complaining about negative campaigning, we're hypocritical. We're doing exactly the same thing and this is WHY these campaign tactic are done...because we feed off of it like hungry lions on a wounded antelope.
October 13, 201411 yr Both campaigns have heavy outside (Kentucky) involvement and influence. Its harder to tell for McConnell since he has been a cog in the machinery for a long time. I heard this morning that lots of races have the Democrats outspending the Repubs 4 to 1 in some cases. Where does all the money come from - the national party or PAC operatives. Where do the national parties get money? For one side through the FiC: Gwyneth Paltrow Hearts Obama: ?You?re So Handsome That I Can?t Speak? - ABC News The fundraiser, which benefited the Democratic National Committee, included 200 guests at a $1000-per-person reception and 50 attendees at a $15,000-per-person dinner, party officials said. The event was closed to coverage by press cameras. Pool reporters who were allowed to hear Obama’s remarks provided the quotes for this report.
October 13, 201411 yr Always funny to hear politicians rail against big money at 15K per plate lunches .
October 13, 201411 yr RealClearPolitics average has Mitch up 3%. They use four polls to get to that number, but two of them are a month or more old. The third is a CJ poll from Sept 20-Oct 1 that shows Grimes up 2%. The most recent is a Fox News poll from 10/4-7 that has Mitch up 4%. RealClearPolitics - Election 2014 - Kentucky Senate - McConnell vs. Grimes

October 13, 201411 yr So...who's ahead is Real Clear As Mud? I think if today was Election Day, Grimes would win.
October 13, 201411 yr I think that a person who disagrees with family and then corrects it is no big deal. It will have ZERO bearing on the election. Im not voting for her but it isnt because of anything on here or any ad on TV or the media. Im going for the lesser or 2 evils. Is she nicer and better person than that old fart McConnel, Im sure she is, but she is a Dem and right now I dont feel they are leading us in the right direction.
October 13, 201411 yr I think if today was Election Day, Grimes would win. She's had a terrible past ten days , why do you think she would win now ? you think she will win in Nov ?
October 13, 201411 yr She's had a terrible past ten days , why do you think she would win now ? you think she will win in Nov ? Polling has tightened & we've had at least 2 that show her with a slim lead. I've thought Mitch would win a close one for a long while, but it just seems like there has been a small shift recently in ALG's favor.
October 13, 201411 yr Speaks volumes to the weakness of both candidates . He's been part of the problems and shes clearly -- crystal clearly - not ready for the position.
