While dumping Mitch might be emotionally gratifying, doesn’t look like its going to happen based on the polls I’ve seen...
Mitch has taken the lead in polling and widening it.
Article reads more like wishful thinking than reality at this point.
No doubt he’s angered part of his base, but the idea the libertarian candidate is going to play spoiler for sour grapism isn’t currently being played out. We’ll see in November.
You touch on an important point: the old saying that if you’re going to take a shot at the king, be sure to kill him.
Given the poll numbers, and McConnell’s past track record at defeating challengers, it’s looking like he’s going to win. By a comfortable margin too, if the trending persists.
The result will be a GOP leader, possibly a Senate Majority leader, who won in spite of Conservatives. Not because of them. That’s not a good position to be in, effectively locking the Tea Party out from having any influence, at all, at least through the next cycle and possibly beyond.
Remember what Alinsky said about political action: pick a target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it. Then look at what Mark Levin said about picking one GOP Senate race each cycle and targeting the incumbent for removal.
IMHO for 2014 that race should be Mississippi. It’s a much more egregious situation, and therefore much more ripe for using to send a message.
You think this is sour grapes? Is that what you call it when a member of your own party deliberately targets you as a racist?
This is way beyond sour grapes, this is a deadly threat to our existence.
