November 5, 201411 yr I will continue to harp on the fact that Grimes was the third choice of the Dem machine. IMVHO this positioned her to make a run at the Governor's office next year. After all she's gotten good at skipping her day job.
November 5, 201411 yr That was LHL trying to do their role in keeping the national money flowing in. Notice that a few days later the national party pulled out. And in the last poll they had McConnell ahead comfortably. It was completely bogus with a purpose. If what you say is true, then that is pretty sad.
November 5, 201411 yr If Mitch looked like George Clooney and Alison looked like Rosie O'Donnell he would have won by a 3 to 1 margin. That is still the #1 thing I remember from my Public Opinion & Voter Behavior class in college. Ability to get elected and ability to govern are two very different things. I agree with this.
November 5, 201411 yr Yeah they have really done a great job handling the Brent Spence Bridge issues. Cannot argue with you on that one...
November 5, 201411 yr Author So...what can we expect to pass if your ideal scenario comes to fruition? I think politically the bigger key is what does Obama veto. That will be what 2016 is run on.
November 5, 201411 yr Author Yeah they have really done a great job handling the Brent Spence Bridge issues. I'm a fiscal conservative who belives infastructure is one of the federal governments main 3 jobs. The problems lies in the government over spending in areas they should not. We need politicians who reign in bad spending and spends money in areas like infrastructure. I'd love to see a public poll on spending money on Obamacare vs infrastructure nationwide. Health care is not the governments job to provide. But roads and bridges are something our government should be providing with our tax dollars.
November 5, 201411 yr So, now that he's won, and President Obama can't win a 3rd term, what are we going to bicker about? How about this? http://bluegrasspreps.com/kentucky-national-politics/republicans-win-senate-290395.html I'm also looking forward to John Yarmuth (who once said he had no interest in serving as a member of the minority, guess he changed his mind) becoming even more irrelevant.
November 5, 201411 yr Author Another question after tonight , does Grimes have a political career after tonight. MSNBC tonight attacked her on her concession speech and how partisan it was. Read that again MSNBC attacked her on being to partisan. She got demolished in the election and wasn't gracious in defeat . Her campign like I said two months ago was ran by amateurs .
November 5, 201411 yr She came across fake and like she was just repeating what someone else told her to say without knowing the meaning of what she was saying :lol2: If I ever hear her say "end the gridlock" again it'll be too soon. I just took that to mean, vote out Mitch so Dems have free reign to do whatever they want. Gag.
November 5, 201411 yr So, now that he's won, and President Obama can't win a 3rd term, what are we going to bicker about?Executive orders, executive orders, executive orders....

Perhaps not a national career but you never know. People's memories are short and she's young. She still can have a strong career within the state.
