It will be a major calculation of Tea Party conservatives that if Republicans are going to have a several seat majority in the senate, to just *not vote* for McConnell.

They don’t have to vote for the Democrat, but just leave that one election unmarked. The statistics would tell the tale:

1) Normal voter turnout.

2) McConnell losing not because Grimes won, but because he lost the support of his base. In the midst of conservative Republicans winning elsewhere with normal support.

The trade off is a bitter, angry, but powerful establishment Republican, who effectively stands in the way of conservatism, and openly schemes to marginalize conservatives and destroy the Tea Party. He is a dangerous and sworn enemy.

Grimes, on the other hand, will just be a powerless freshman in the minority. She will have only one term in office, and then she will be replaced by a Republican, hopefully a conservative.

With a McConnell loss, the RINOs and GOP-e will be rattled, as he is one of the last of the powerful and obnoxious Republican liberals.

But if McConnell wins, conservatives will likely be shut out of the Republican convention again, ruled out of order, and given a choice of Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush as candidates, but no one else, and certainly no conservative. And either of them will lose to Hillary.

So it is worth it to make him lose his seat. It will change the terrible course of America today, and perhaps steer us away from “the cliff”.

Your analysis overall is completely nonsensical, but this one really takes the cake. You know nothing of the politics of this Commonwealth to make such a statement. We will never be rid of her, and she will give rise to many more like her...for decades to come.

People like you will not rest until we have full-fledged communism, will you? All in the name of "principle." We've never like the leader as long as I can remember - you don't just toss away a Senate seat to another ultra-leftist who will be around for decades. Who do you prefer as the leader? Susan Collins? John McCain? Lindsey Graham?

Do you think there are enough true, KY Conservatives who will leave the Senate race blank to cause McConnell to lose? I'm afraid many of them will have a "cooling down" of their anger by November 4th and go ahead and hold their nose and vote for the jerk off, McConnell, one more time. What say ye?
