Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell runs dead even with Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes in Rasmussen Reports’ first look at the 2014 U.S. Senate race in Kentucky. But McConnell’s GOP primary rival Matt Bevin leads Grimes by six points. (snip)

Good News...GOP will lose seat if McConnell does not step aside for Bevin
If Bevin is ahead of Grimes by 6 and McConnell is even with the Dem, then Bevin should have substantial lead aainst Mcconnell in the primary election.
This is MASSIVE!!
Bevin needs to get this horrible poll for McConnell on the airwaves! DITCH MITCH!!!!!
“Please support Bevin if you can! Thanks!!”

I have made some small donations and will continue to make them as my finances allow. I hope others will also.
Matt Bevin is one of my Tea Party candidate favorites.
McCornhole and Grahamnesty must go.

Not necessarily true. McConnell has, as would be expected, significant name recognition in Kentucky. But his negatives would drive a chunk of Republicans and conservatives to vote for a Democrat over him. Bevin does not have McConnell’s problem with negatives but does not yet have broad name recognition—so folks who don’t have any negative feelings for him and don’t know him will vote for him simply because he is not a Democrat.
It WILL BE A STRUGGLE for Bevin to get the Republican nomination in the primary because of his lack of name recognition. We need to support him in his challenge of the surreptitious back-stabber McConnell as much as we can.
If both McConnell and Cornyn get knocked out the next ranking republican is John Thune. He could be the next Senate leader (Min or Maj) or the tea party wave could throw the position open to someone else entirely.
So Bevin may have gotten the ‘generic default vote’ over Grimes and McConnell in this general election poll. Still, it looks like a great start. Both McConnell and Grimes must suck rotten eggs to the Kentucky electorate favoring Bevin with the big Mo.
Bevin wins, how is this going to be explained? The Gope
told us that the Tea Party is dead.
Bring on the election, I want to see the Gope poop their pants. This kind of thing will make the money dry up for the GOPe, winning is everything.
Poor Mitchy may be calling his momma to drive him home . . . for good!
It’s hard to kill the Tea Party whose ideas resonate big with the voters. The Tea Party are really good, logical, and smart ideas...hard to kill ideas - virtually impossible.
Just move the ball down the field every election where eventually the Tea party ideas will dominate.
Better yet, how will Politico explain it when they just pronounced the Tea Party dead.
If McConnell is defeated, I will declare the GOPe dead. This race is way bigger than the Cruz, Lee, Paul races before them. That was small time compared to taking down the minority leader. This is THE BIG ONE.
OK, everybody, here’s a chance for each of us to make this a win for We the People. Send Matt Bevin what financial support you can muster. He’s fighting the big guns of finance and here’s where we can get into action and win this. WE CAN ACTUALLY WIN THIS! Let’s get er’ done.
BTTT!
Go MATT! Ditch Midge!
The gobbler will lose. Either to Bevin or the Rat.
The GOP has turned down the temp on obamacare debate and the Dems have hit rock bottom on it for now. An outside the beltway type like Grimes will pick up a few points between now and November.
I hope Bevin can take him down but either way, Mitch is toast. Had he stood with Cruz and engaged Reid/Obama on kenyancare he would be sailing to victory right now.
