Would hate to lose the seat, but would love to see McCockle join Cantor’s lobbyist group.
How’s that “punch in the face” working out for you, Mitchie?
The Chinless One will soon be changing office locations if turnout is the key.
Voting [again] for that man would be like a victim marrying the rapist after the rape.
This just brings up the bile in my throat to know that my choice is Grimes or McConnell. Talk about screwed.
Then he is screwed and, in all honesty, I like that. He MUST go.
Thank you, Captain Obvious
With only one exception, McConnell has never broken 60% in any of his general election match-ups.
Here are his final winning percentages:
1984 - 49.9%
1990 - 52.2%
1996 - 55.5%
2002 - 64.7%
2008 - 53.0%
Kiss of death from Grimes. No one Clinton has campaigned for in a red state has won.
Don’t all elections depend on turnout?
Well, Rick Perry did endorse him. And, in spite of Perry's liberal leanings there are a lot of FReepers who believe he is conservative. Look for Ricky to campaign for RINO McConnell and try to help him win.
Ruh-roh...looks like he shouldn’t have gloated about crushing the TEA Party. He foolishly set fire to the bridge that he is now trying to stand on.
My guess is there are a lot of Alison Lundergan Grimes supporters here.
If so, you are a traitor and turncoat to your principles and nation.
Could this have anything to do with Mitchie the Kid being a gutless, RINO sellout? NAAAAH!!!!
Who in their right mind would go to the polls for the purpose of re-electing Mitch McConnell? Almost any other thing you had to do that day would have priority over that.
After what McConnell did to his own conservatives in KY and of course,
MS, I would not count on big turnouts by conservatives.
McConnell is a goner. Good riddance.
McConnell needs to burn. It is far more valuable to the country that the man who deliberately attacked the Tea Party be thrown out of office than that we retain a weak milk-sop Rino who won’t do anything of any value for us.
Dislike McConnell as much as anyone, but if the damn dems hold the Senate majority, there’ll be unhappy times ahead.
The time to kick Mitch was in the Primary. Either his opponent didn’t have enough money or enough voter support or Mitch stole the election. Same thing happened with Cornyn, his two main Primary opponents (one likely a strawman) didn’t have enough powder to blow their noses.
The bottom line is that while Grimes is a Democrat, she fights all Republicans. McConnell fights the Tea Party, not the Democrats. And he is in a position to cause far more harm to conservative causes by stabbing us in the back.
She would be a fairly powerless freshman senator, but for McConnell to lose would kick the GOP-e and the RINOs in their pasty, shriveled up rear ends.
With the terrible economy and this country being run in to the ground by 0bama and the democrats, these races should be slam dunks for the republican party. Instead, the leadership of the republican party is just as out of touch with the American people and reality as the democrats are. Too bad the people of Kentucky didn’t primary McConnell. He needed to be.

So if The Gobbler loses but the Rs win the senate, who is in line to take the majority leader position?
