Grimes Will Challenge McConnell

Kentucky Secretary Of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) will run against Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in next year's U.S. Senate election, WLEX-TV reports.

"Grimes is thought to be the Democrats' best hope of unseating McConnell, the Senate Republican Leader. Grimes had been considering whether to throw her hat into the race for the past several months."

1. I hope she sends the turtle scurrying back into his shell

[flpoljunkie]

2. That would be awesome, indeed!

7. I hope she sends the turtle scurrying back into his shell

Amen to that! I can't stand that McConnell guy.

[Laurian]

3. That lowlife asshole McConnell will start smearing her tomorrow.

Just like he went after Ashley Judd.

[flpoljunkie]

5. I think he'd already started smearing her, hoping to keep her out of the race.

Obviously, it did not work!

4. Can she win?

[flpoljunkie]

6. McConnell has low approval ratings. Yes, I think he can be beaten.

It won't be easy and he has a war chest, but I think now is a good time for women to run and win in the Senate.

8. She polls slightly better than Judd did.

Still for the turtle to be at 40% (30 year senior veteran of the Senate) speaks badly for him.

9. .

20. or "Grimey," as she likes to be called

10. She will get a few bucks from our household

[blackspade]

11. Awesome.

[solara]

12. I will support her however I can

I don't live there, so I can't vote.. but I will send what I can money wise. That sick-o McConnell has got to go

[B Stieg]

13. Cool. I just hope Ashley Judd pitches in!

She can provide some needed $ and PR support.

[A Little Weird]

14. Glad she finally decided

She's got my vote!

[Firebrand Gary]

15. Kicked & Recd

I will be donating, spreading the word and also assisting in anyway that I can.

[okaawhatever]

16. She will get money from me. This is like the Wendy Davis affair, it's bigger than just the state of

KY, the whole country will be watching. It's a much needed win for the democratic party. All we need is for Kentuckians to figure out that the republican party is the one hurting them.

17. Should make Mitch

thinking pretty hard about how he is doing his job as senate representative.

18. DSCC polling shows McConnell's job approval rating is net -27% with 62% disapproval.

Guy Cecil, executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, released a statement as well:

The Kentucky Senate race is now a toss up. Mitch McConnell is the most unpopular incumbent in the entire country. He is a relic of the past and a symbol of everything that is wrong with Washington. Kentuckians want a change. According to DSCC polling done by Fred Yang of Hart Research, McConnell’s job approval rating is net -27% with 62% of Kentucky voters disapproving of his job performance to just 35% approving. Just 28% of registered voters said they plan to vote to reelect McConnell.

19. I suspect that as he tries to 'muddy' Lundergan Grimes

It will splatter back on him. Mitch McConnell is known for personal attacks against his opponents, however I think the people of Kentucky are tired of watching him 'kneecap' other, talented leaders.

21. Brava!

23. It's time Kentucky sent a human being to the Senate. n/t

[Nanjing to Seoul]

24. If I were from KY, I'd vote for a lump of shit over Mitch McChinless, I don't care what the lump

of shit stood for.

Fuck Mitch McChinless and fuck and rube that FOR that worthless motherfucker.

25. Donate?

Here we are a day later and the Repubs already have a "Defeat Grimes" page where people can donate, and we have nothing.



Get it in gear!
