Let there be hope: Allison Lundgren Grimes is in the race against McConnell in KY senate race.

1. I wish her well

But we all know two things:

ONE: Ashley Judd would have been better
TWO: Bill Clinton put the Kibosh on her campaign by supporting a DINO like Grimes.

I am supporting the lesser of two evils, because, once the primary hits, you cannot hold your breath and say "but I wanna real leftist!" However, this campaign is one reminder of why I dislike the name "Clinton", and why I intend to be outright nasty come primary season 2016.

2. Her father was the car salesman

in Fargo? Sorry, that's Jerry Lundegaard. Close, though.

Jerry Lundergan was convicted in 1989 for an ethics-law violation barring lawmakers no-bid work for the state as a caterer. That conviction was later overturned on the grounds that it should have been prosecuted as a misdemeanor instead of a felony. Typical repug overreach. Lundergan went on to chair the KY DNC, however, although we can count on the repugs attempting to make political hay even from an overturned conviction and his ties to the Clintons.

3. She's not Mitch McConnell and that's enough reason for me to support her.

4. That's where I'm at.

Even a teabagger might be better because he would stop Mitch from being leader.
