Can Bevin beat Grimes.

I hope that we can boot Mcconnell, Boehner and Graham.

Need to be careful here... McConnell may be more vulnerable in the primary than the general election. Hopefully, the TP in Kentucky has vetted Bevin for attitudes on rape and other hot-button issues. Need to avoid giving the dems freebies like the disaster in November.

Curious and tricky will be Rand’s position on the race. Does anyone know if he’s a Bevin supporter?

Sitting Senators of the same party are famously reluctant to back a challenger to their counterpart.

Is he a Connecticut transplant to Kentucky?
That won’t go down well with the locals unfortunately.

I’m sure Obama will sic the IRS and NSA on Matt Bevin, so he can keep McConnell in the Senate. After all, he needs his lackeys.

Bevin is a partner at a Kentucky investment firm and the owner of Bevin Brothers Manufacturing, a Connecticut bell-making company founded 160 years ago.

I wonder if the bell-making company is still making bells in CT (or the USA). I think it is in East Hampton (the Bell City), CT. IIRC

Democrats believe McConnell to be vulnerable heading into 2014, citing polling that shows him unpopular in his state. They also got their preferred remaining candidate in Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, after a handful of other Democrats passed on the race.

JUDD decided against running?? Darn../s

Seriously, McConnell weakness is that he makes Harry Reid look alive.

Here in Tennessee, no credible Tea Party candidate has stepped up
to challenge Alexander. I will vote for an orange juice can before I vote
for Alexander or Corker.
