Rasmussen Reports ^

Posted on 10/17/2014 11:04:33 AM PDT by sunmars

Seventy-six percent (76%) of Kentucky voters say they have already made up their minds how they are going to vote, and McConnell leads 55% to 45% among these voters. Among the 24% who still could change their minds, the candidates are tied at 41% apiece, with 17% opting for a third-party candidate or undecided.

Among the 84% of Kentucky voters who say they will definitely vote in this contest, McConnell leads 53% to 44%.

Grimes has the support of 73% of Kentucky Democrats and 16% of the state’s Republicans. McConnell earns 83% backing from his fellow Republicans and 24% of the vote from Democrats. He also has a 21-point lead among voters not affiliated with either of the major parties.

Truly one of the most idiotic and utter clueless self absorbed comments I have ever read on this site. You are a fool of massive proportions. A vain and bitter purist who can’t understand why a majority of your betters actually prefer something different than your choice.

Well, I hate to break it to you that Cruz isn’t running for Majority Leader. He can’t be ML and run for president at the same time. From what I have read, no one else is interested in becoming ML and Mitch already has commitments from other senators. He’s it.

McConnell is an insider when it comes to the budget, but when the discussion is guns, energy, life, or the military, he is on our side. He is far better than Grimes.

Mochelle needs to visit.....

Great idea----send in the F/L to campaign for the candidate who will not even admit to voting for her lamebrain husband.

However, it is a good way to get more Dummycrat money for voter fraud.

I'm pretty certain a lot of money to facilitate Dummycrat voter fraud will be used extensively in Iowa--- b/c if Dummy Braley loses, the long knives will be out for Michelle for screwing up her campaign appearance there....calling Braley "Bailey."

After all, now that she finally "likes" her country and has a bit of self-esteem after "years of oppression" in elite schools.....the Obama criminal vote fraud machine can't let her royal ambitions be tarnished...even if reading a campaign poster is beyond her meager intellect.

I’m resting easier about this race, even though I wish McConnell had retired. Grimes just hasn’t been able to separate herself from the Obama administration and her refusal to say how she voted looked condescending.

The GOP leadership will do NOTHING that they are promising now. They have proven that time and again.

They certainly WERE blocking far-left wing judges from reaching the courts before Harry Reid went nuclear. Obamacare WAS opposed by every Republican in the Senate.

Again, the goal is a Republican Senate in 2017 with a conservative President setting the mandate. That goal will be undermined if Democrats maintain control of the Senate. And, Republicans can't afford to lose a single winnable seat in order to maintain control of it in 2016.

Keep in mind that they pushed the crap out of amnesty, which is extremely unpopular.

And, amnesty hasn't passed yet, has it? Why because there were enough conservatives in the House to stop it.

The Senate will be more conservative in the next Congress. Ted Cruz is likely going to get some help. Ben Sasse and Joni Ernest will help conservatives move the Senate to the right.

Yea, just like McConnell maneuvered to allow many ugly bills to get to the Senate floor, knowing they would pass in a Democrat Senate.

He won't be doing that if we can manage to nominate and elect a conservative President in 2016. Mitch will do what he is told if that happens.

“Should the eGop take the senate, it would be a good move to backbench McCain, McConnell and grahamnesty.

Will it happen?”

Will you be elected a Pope? For both, the answer is theoretically possible, but not a chance in hell.

Looks like 24 per cent of the dems have seen the light and see grimes for what she is, wheras, 16 per cent of the pubbies still think voting for grimes wil teach Mc C a lesson.

Interesting times indeed.

From your other post:

“They certainly WERE blocking far-left wing judges from reaching the courts before Harry Reid went nuclear”

Well, except for Sotamayer.....

“Obamacare WAS opposed by every Republican in the Senate.”

True, then we gave them some gains in 2010 and what have they done with it? Answer: NOTHING Now they are actually stating publicly that “Obamacare is a dead issue, we may be able to tweek it, but we can’t repeal it.” GTH GOP quislings.

Now from this post:

“And, amnesty hasn’t passed yet, has it? Why because there were enough conservatives in the House to stop it.”

Who were those conservatives? They were Tea Party victories. What was McConnel’s stated goal prior to this election season? Answer: “To crush the Tea Party.” In fact, they are still stating that they want to gain seats now so that they can make the tea party irrelevent!

Here is but one example of a squish candidate that is driving conservatives away, but fits right in with the GOP leadership!

>> I guess the definition of RINO has changed in recent years. <<

The Levinites have started using the term "RINO" and "GOP-e" the way the left uses the terms "racist" and "homophobic".
