Call that the "Grimes effect" I suppose. Like many of us supporting Milt & McInsane over Obama.

Time to get out and vote in as many Republicans as possible.

If America does not do it this time around, it may never get a second chance after Obama is finished with the country.

Someone should alert the media that the Tea Party is not as moribund as they would hope.

How anyone BUT the liberal MSM could equate adherence to Constitutional principles to such nonsense as racism clearly does not make sense to the average American.

Grimes is something I would do under the influence, not something I would vote for.

"13% of those surveyed self-identified as members of the TEA Party." Among that group, McConnell "leads Grimes 87%-5%."

In addition "nearly a third (32%) of those who did not self-identify [as Tea Party members] indicated that they were sympathetic to the views expressed by the TEA Party."


De facto, 40% of those surveyed are Tea Party. They just all don't identify as such. Think that doesn't frighten the (D)Marxists? Think again.

Well, I always remember Mitt Romney’s “47%” figure. There’s always gonna be 47% who will vote Dem not matter what. Look at all the scandals, and dirt, everyone knew about the Clintons and they are revered in DemcoRAT circles. Look at all the Obama baggage. Do the ‘Rats care? Heck no!

This race is not 3%. There is a reason the democrats pulled funding out of that one.

Obviously I am not a McConnell fan, but this poll, and the Arkansas poll showing Cotton up 8, suggest a massive wave coming. I could be wrong, but I can’t think of one race moving in the Dems direction. Shaheen and Hagin now looking shaky.

Isn’t it fairly well established that if an incumbent isn’t polling near 50%, they are in trouble because undecideds normally break 2:1 for the challenger. (If you’re undecided about a political figure you’ve known about for most/all of your voting life, you’re more likely to remain undecided about him...)

I don’t see how this poll is good for Mitchy. Margin of error poll that shows him significant less than closing the deal.

The internals must say something different because the Dems have dumped this race. Still. Looking at this poll doesn’t say what the article suggests (the TEA party is coming home to Mitchy). No. This poll, so far as I can tell, shows McConnell in trouble.

So conservatives are pulling McConnell’s sorry behind over the finish line? Will he now govern in a conservative manner? Not a chance. I see as thank you he is plotting to back stab us with a lame duck omnibus spending bill. Priority #1 for a majority GOP Senate: fully funding the obama agenda.

Only 3%? McConnell is weak and the KY voters know it.
