DSCC Goes Dark in Kentucky
Roll Call ^

Posted on 10/14/2014 11:28:22 AM PDT by sunmars

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has gone dark in Kentucky, where the party is targeting Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

After a significant investment in support of Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, the DSCC had not reserved time for the final three weeks of the race and, as of today, is no longer on the air.

“The DSCC has now spent more than 2 million in Kentucky and continues to make targeted investments in the ground game while monitoring the race for future investments, but is currently not on the air in the state,” a DSCC official told CQ Roll Call.

McConnell has held small but consistent leads in nearly every recent public poll.

As it seeks to keep Republicans from picking up six seats and the Senate majority, the DSCC’s independent expenditure unit may see a better opportunity in Georgia, where it just purchased significant advertising time.

Well, I guess their internal polls are telling them that old turtle neck is going to win, so Grimes is getting cut off. Meh.

Better to put their money in used cars with big trunks to carry all the “newly found” votes they will produce on the day after the election.

He commercials are 100% lies. She's shooting a gun—pretending to be pro-gun. She's pretending to be against Obamacare.

LIAR!

Every word out of her mouth seems to be a lie.

She's like a Jr. Al Gore

my thoughts exactly.
The low information voters will not recover from Chuck U Todd’s declaration that Grimes is ‘disqualified’ no matter how he tries to clarify it now.

McCockle is as good as a Democrat, so why bother?

Chuck Todd was right. If she can't answer the simple question about who she voted for, how will she be when confronted with tough questions?

Her refusal to answer is just plain WEIRD!

She’s toast.

I think her unwillingness to say who she voted for POTUS was the final straw.

Saving the money for buying votes. I expect this in every state where a Democrat is running. Why pay for ads when you can buy votes?
