The most interesting race is McConnell in Kentucky. An avowed enemy of conservatives and the Tea Party. If enough of them vote for conservatives in the election, but DO NOT vote for either McConnell or Grimes, McConnell could lose.
Not only would conservatives be rid of the most oppressive, divisive, conservative agenda blocking, Democrat coddling Republican leadership liberal, but it would shake the GOP-e to its roots.
It would be like the Eric Cantor loss times 10.
It might very well tip the balance in the next Republican National Convention for a conservative presidential candidate instead of the only candidates, Romney and Bush, the GOP-e will currently allow to get the nomination.
The McConnell race is *that* important.
Other fallout would be that John Boehner would not be reelected as Speaker of the House, so that worm would be gone as well. The House would be in full conservative revolt.
And the last two years of the Obama administration would be effectively neutered. Thank heavens.
A conservative House and a more conservative senate would kick the pluperfect snot out of him. Sure, he could veto, but vast numbers of his toadies would no longer get any funding.
Appropriations bills would be divided, so that the scoundrels were segregated out and their agencies and departments left to die.
And it all rides on McConnell losing this election, because conservatives and Tea Party people refused to vote for him.
Buh-bah, turtle man.
I hear you. That's why I voted for Romney in 2012.
But the past is the past, and I do not believe that the current GOPe, or any of the "moderate" candidates being touted for 2016, will take active steps to undo the Obama legacy.
They will move to "fix" Obamacare, but they will not work to repeal it. They will still work for amnesty, will not reduce government spending, will not slash taxes, will still continue the federalization of education (notice how "moderate" Mike Huckabee condemns conservatives for attacking Common Core), and will continue to back down or remain silent whenever some leftist politician accuses them of being racist, against the poor, or Islamophobic.
So I will not vote for any RINO candidates from this point on. For me it's either Ted Cruz, or someone very like him, or not vote at all.
The blame for a continuation of corrupt Democrat control of Congress and the White House belongs to the GOPs, not to conservatives like me.
I agree with you that moderates will not take steps to roll things back. I would like to think they would hold the line where Democrats would push their agenda forward. The fact I feel I had to say “I would like to think” does truly bother me. But candidates are chosen and I feel I can only try to hold the line. That means no more Harry Reid to me. At least get a vote in the Senate on bills.
Have you ever heard of a liberal taking responsibility for their actions? Just because they have an (R) in front of their names doesn’t change the fact the GOPE liberals will as you say blame us the conservatives or anything else under the sun, but it can NEVER EVER be their faults, that’s just not possible.
Losers, they don’t want to win.
Say what you will, but I would hope everyone would vote R this November.

Sorry, but if I lived in KY or MS I’d vote for a 3rd Party candidate or skip the Senate Race altogether before I’d vote for Mitch McConnell or Thad Cochran. I have to pray daily for forgiveness because I literally hate both of them more than I can put into words. I cannot even put into print on this world-wide web what I wish would happen to both of them. Now, in MS I could vote for the Democrat because he is a Conservative Democrat on Social Issues. He’s Pro-Life, Pro-Second Amendment and ANTI-Same/Sex Marriage.
How come Ted Cruz is not on your list to be primarying in ‘16?
“How come Ted Cruz is not on your list to be primarying in ‘16?”
Because he was just elected in 2012. He’s not up again till 2018.
LOL..... I knew that; he’s my Senator. I was thinking Primarying for the Presidential Race. Sorry.
Wouldn't it be just a hoot if Roberts squeaks out a win in KS, and the turtle loses in KY?
You can't blame conservatives for Romney's loss. He got more votes than McCain did in 2008.
Romney was defeated by voter fraud -- the same fraud machinery that the Republicans won't attack because they use the same machinery against conservatives in the primaries.
