Conservatives here are NOT voting for McConnell in the general.

Hey, that's their privilege, but if they then utter one word of complaint about Harry Reid for the next two years, they will have earned a good kick in the nutsack.

Were I in Kentucky, I would certainly campaign and vote for Bevin. But if he does not win the nomination, absolutely no way I would sit back and let the Dem have the seat.

I’m just telling what I think is going to happen. My opinion doesn’t make it more or less likely. It’s just what I expect to see.

There is another angle here. Polling indicates that Bevin would soundly beat Grimes. Whereas McConnell is looking to lose or maybe, if lucky, squeak by.

If McConnell cares so much about a Senate majority for the GOP he should consider pulling out and actively supporting Bevin. No, he would rather Grimes be elected than Bevin. I believe that is what he really thinks.

I will also point out that there is absolutely no evidence that McConnell would be any tougher in dealing with the Dems as a majority leader than he is as a minority leader. I will even suggest that a Republican majority is of *no* value unless he is replaced by a real leader with a backbone. But if he is reelected and the R get a majority, he will be the leader. Exercise in futility.
