TODAY IS PRIMARY DAY in Kentucky!!! GET OUT AND VOTE!!
I don’t think we had 18% undecided, either. That’s a big plus for Bevin.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Exactly! Rule of Thumb: 80 percent of Undecideds usually go for the challenger. If a person is undecided on whether or not to vote for a 30 year incumbent, it is highly unlikely that the the incumbent will get that vote.
I posted this yesterday, but it applies to today too.
I just made a trip from my place to Somerset in Kentucky. About a hundred miles round trip or so. Two different ways were taken, all of them on the back roads.
I saw numerous Bevin yard signs and amazingly not one, NOT ONE, McConnell yard sign.
On the other hand I and my friends and neighbors have been receiving ‘I support Mitch” robo-calls unceasingly for the last five days. Personally I let the answering machine get them and if the Robo-calls starts blasting away, I answer and hang-up immediately.
One of my wife’s friends received 21 call this weekend and called the local McConnell office to complain and tell them to stop the Harassment!
So my own entirely unofficial position is that McConnell is really running scared. He is spending his campaign cash like it was government money in direct, personal campaigning with directed mail flyers and these G.D. irritating phone calls. And I hope he loses and loses big! For five years and six months he ignores his ‘home’ state every term he has been in the Senate and only pays attention when it’s campaign season.
It’s time to give McConnell a long-over due retirement.
Now today, when I went to vote, which for me is almost a thirty minute drive across the county, I saw Zip, zero, nada Mitch McConnell signs. On the other hand I saw numerous Bevin Signs and two Ditch Mitch signs.
Voting was steady here in my rural county. Someone showing up every five minutes or so and my local poll workers knew my by sight, I still showed my drivers licence as well as my voters card. Five minutes later after filling out the PAPER ballot and scanning, found me on my way back home to the farm and work here.
As much as I hate to say it, Louisville and Lexington will decide the vote as usual. The cities just plain outnumber those of us out here in the Rural counties.
Which part of that statement do you disagree with?
Personally, I 100% agree with Matt. If the people of Kentucky, or Louisiana want to fight dogs or roosters, it should be up to THEM to decide... NOT the Federal government.
Mitch is the most mammoth caver to ever stumble around the Senate.
I just voted, and yes.. there were FIVE candidates on the ballot.
I saw more than 100 Bevin signs on my way. Zero McConnell. Turnout seemed fairly good, for a primary. At 1 pm, I was in a line of 5-6 people to get a ballot.
I did my part, I voted today after spending several hours at the phone center making call for him.
How were you received in general?
My wife and I have voted! +2 for Matt.
The reality I see coming is 15 percent for the whole day since only 25 had voted by my time around 9 this morning at a place with 1600 registered voters. At 7am opening time for the presidential one in 2012 I was 50th in the line.
Unfortunately, there are no run offs in Kentucky elections. And it’s a sad day for Kentucky when the Senate Minority Traitor wins with the percentage he is tonight. Let’s just hope he grows some balls (or borrows his wife’s) and gives half as much of a fight to Harry Reid as he does to the Tea Party.
McConnell and Reid have worked for thirty years together. They’re buds. McConnell will NEVER hate Reid as much as he hates the Tea Party. For they dared to challenge his power.
Just got home from the Bevin election party in Louisville.... it was sad, yet... uplifting all at the same time. I met SO MANY people who think the way I do.
Matt was understanding... and supportive of the BIGGER cause.
I liked him more today, than ever before. His speech tonight just verified what I thought about him, as a human being.
I will vote for the turtle.. but, I will HATE it. That’s NOT how our Republic should be.
We were well received in general but the response was overwhelmingly in support of McConnell. They were afraid to lose the seat.
Ann Coulter supported Mitch.
