If only McConnell was half as nasty going after Reid as he was to the Tea Party.
While it’s an uphill fight for Bevin, what gives with posting a leftwing article about how all is lost when the election isn’t over?
It’s truly amazing to see so much effort being put out to discourage the average Kentucky voter.
So although I support and voted for Bevin, I do expect that McConnell will win the primary. The best I can see out of this is that McConnell and their campaign will see how much of the ‘Base’ truly wants him gone and that might, just might, make him campaign harder against Grimes in the General election.
Wasn’t Cruz down big just before the election?
Well crap..... I donated to his campaign twice... I was really hoping that McConnell would go down in flames. Maybe we will get a big surprise tonight.
The article should be “The article that wasn’t” because no results are in yet.
Just say’n.
McConnell is worse than a garden variety wimpy RINO. He actually declared war on the Tea Party, and not just in his state, but nationwide.
He has forfeited support in the general election.
Romney and the GOPs dirty tricks got Romney the nomination, but in the end, Romney was unelectable.

Did Bevin really come out in support of dog and cock fighting? Fox reported that last night.
Is this an open or closed primary? It makes a difference if Democrats are allowed to vote for their favorite Republicans.
Oy. Way to push the narrative for a fait accompli, Politico...! “So, as we all will know in a few hours, Mark Bevin lost in an embarrassing landslide...”
Shame is definitely a rare commodity among media types, these days...
Saw McConnell on Megyn Kelly’s show last night.
What a nothingburger he is.
No wonder Reid walks all over him.
To have Trent Lott, Bill Frist and Mitch McConnell as GOP Senate leaders is the best thing that ever happened to the Democrats.
Every state elects the government it deserves.
Don’t discount lazy voters in mid-terms. Bevin just has to beat the McConnell machine of paid supporters.
Taking on a very powerful guy is tough, especially when the crony wing of the party has lined up in lockstep with the failed leadership. This was always an uphill battle, and things just didn’t break for Bevin. This rally he spoke at was small potatoes, but when millions are poured into it, a small misstep becomes more important than a disastrous leadership record.
While voter intensity has equaled the playing field in many elections the past 4 years, money still means a lot.
It's hard to run against a ONE PARTY SYSTEM!!!

He wasn’t the worst candidate, but the power of incumbency, especially from a leader who has been bringing home the pork and building his network for years, is hard to beat.

And others would be...
A good man stood in the breach with courage and took on the establishment power structure when they thought they were sacrosanct. And that IMHO is a big deal. Not to mention others that did ( the guy who ran against Cantor ) and even Cantor didn't rack up huge numbers. We are the barbarians at the gate, and IMHO they are scared....
