“Go to a barbershop in KY and listen to what the barbers are saying and what they say customers are saying. Then be one who speaks for Bevin.”

My point is that you may be right on principle, however, IF your argument about reality and how it is expressed is, to too many voters, more Washington D.C. beltway kind of talk (over their heads, as far as “them vs us”) and it does not have any resonance with what concerns them locally, and someone like Bevin cannot convert it, translate it, into a framework of the local interests, then, as right as you may be, it does get enough mass voter support. And, as right as you are, and even if Bevin agrees with you (and me) it is up to him to find the arguments that will work, in order to win.

Indeed. The number of people who fall for the garbage propaganda from GOPe AllahPundit is ridiculous. All his fans do is squat like apes behind their keyboards and shit and bitch.

Blahh!

The campaign waged against McConnell has been extraordinarily incompetent. Bevin’s first ad straight of the gate was one with him personally attacking McConnell - not a positive biographical sketch, and you never, ever personally appear in an ad attacking your opponent - that all blows back on you - and of course, prompted McConnell to immediately respond with a barrage of counter attacks which overwhelmed Bevin as McConnell had a ton more cash on hand. So, Bevin squandered his opportunity at a positive first impression - and you only get that chance one time. That’s a very bad start. Multiple ads have been run against McConnell as purely attack ads from conservative groups - none to positively portray Bevin - and they have run with ads from the left also attacking McConnell. This strategy doesn’t help Bevin because still relatively few know who he is - is just ups McConnell’s negatives with the voting public at large all the more. Bevin therefore is going nowhere at all in his effort to defeat McConnell in the primary. There are also more candidates on the ballot against McConnell than Bevin, so just getting people to vote against McConnell doesn’t assist Bevin in the least as that splits the vote between multiple other choices. Moreover, even if Bevin somehow does manage to beat McConnell, he has not been defined in a positive light to have a head start against Grimes and allow Grimes to define him first. This is a losing strategy all around.

Speaking of which, the Clintons are heavily involved in this Kentucky race for Grimes.

BTW We did choose Rand Paul over McConnell’s personally picked candidate. I think we did a pretty good job there, now we are going to try and do it again.

No, Trey Grayson was not McConnell's personally picked candidate - he had two of those - David Williams and then Cathy Bailey - Williams evidently polled horribly (no brainer) as he got out of the mix not long after he started, and then Cathy Bailey was next in line - but she had a huge family tragedy in the midst of this and opted not to run. McConnell didn't even get involved to help Grayson directly until the last month...which given how horribly that campaign was run up to that point was pretty evident McConnell's people had no hand in that debacle. Bevin's campaign so far has reminded me a great deal of Grayson's.

I understand, and you may be right

but also read the post from Republican Wildcat

he’s making my case

that Bevin himself is not doing himself any favors

simply attacking McConnel may not connect with

what will really interest the local voters and interests

he cannot just say McConnel is not good

he has to be selling who he is

What the HE|| do you know about the senate race in GA?

Other than the fact we have TWO (2), squishy, RINO traitors (Just Like McConMan in KY) NO GEORGIAN (especially the bitter clingers) want another Senator named Nunn...

We plan to upgrade now and again when Isaksons sorry a$$ is up for re-election...

Stick to the thread! McConMan MUST GO AT ALL COSTS. The damage he does BEHIND the scenes is MUCH WORSE than his individual votes...

“I wish I could believe a Republican Senate would do anything different, but I don’t. It isn’t Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi walking all over the Republicans, it is Obama.”

Control the House and Senate and you can control everything O’bastard finds on his desk. He couldn’t veto everything or the people would revolt and demand impeachment.

Bush had no choice but to sign crap bills his last few years when the RATS controlled everything. He couldn’t just shut everything down.

Bush was a compassionate conservative and wanted an amnesty deal.

Michelle Obama is not Hilary Clinton. She is not running for office on her husband’s coattails. Obama’s are leaving public life in 2017. Bill Clinton had to seem reasonable with GOP congress to help Hilary Clinton’s career.

And that has nothing to do with control of the House and Senate.
