Senate Democrats surrender fight against McConnell
The Hill ^ | Oct 14, 2014 | Alex Bolton

Senate Democrats announced Tuesday they won’t spend any more money on television in Kentucky, throwing in the towel on their fight to oust Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell.

Most polls have shown the race slipping away from nominee Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) for weeks in a contest long considered a top pickup opportunity for Democrats. But with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s (DSCC) decision, the party is shifting almost solely to defense in hopes of protecting its fragile six-seat majority.

Good points. Maybe they want to lose on purpose. Let the Republicans deal with the disaster.

Why would they want to get rid of McC?

He goes their way when they need him to!

“Without Reid as ML, many stonewalled House bills could get a new life.”

Really? The excuse now is “we can’t get anything past senate.” Win the senate and it will be “the president will not sign so why waste of time to try.” Win president and it will be same as last time repubs held all three, they will out spend the dems.

I’m sorry, the choice between lesser of two evils is still evil. Unless and until we stand up to the evil we will continue to roll on down the road to destruction same as always.

It wouldn’t even have to be a back door deal. The Dems might have figured out that if they lose the majority, that won’t be as bad as it could be if Mitch McConnell weren’t in charge.

McConnell is NOT the guy we need as the face of the GOP Senate Majority.

Somebody needs to step up and take him down, or they will hold the majority for only 2 years.

He doesn’t care, he can always instigate race riots like he did in Kenya when his cousin Odinga lost.

They rioted and murdered until the cousin was brought in to share power.

yep....I am also betting that when Grimes wouldn’t give full throated praise to Hussein Obama, and when that went viral, a phone call was made by Hussein’s boss Valerie.

The DemonRats quickly turned tail and ran.

All politicians lie. It is just a matter of degree.
Democrats are much more corrupt than republicans in general.
I should know. I spent 35+ years in Chicago.
