Electing Grimes will help insure Harry Reid has the majority position for life. Electing Grimes is bad short and long term. She is a liberal democrat who’ll be loyal to Harry Reid.

McConnell has proven that he supports Harry Reid and Harry's agenda.

All liberal republicans must be politically destroyed.

Electing Grimes will help insure Harry Reid has the majority position for life.

That might only be true if you believe that the 2014 Senate election cycle will be 50-50 with McConnell as the winning vote.

I don't think that's the case this year. I think we have seats to give.

The Senate is currently 55-45 Democrat. Republicans need six seats.

Likely Republican pick-ups:

• Montana - pick-up from the Democrat plagiarist
• South Dakota - pick up from the retiring Democrat Tim Johnson.
• West Virginia - pick up from the retiring Democrat Jay Rockefeller.

This gets us half-way there.

Strong contenders if McConnell manages the message right (he's not). We need three.

• Louisiana - Democrat Mary Landrieu. One would think her Obamacare vote would sink her, but where is the national attack on her?
• Alaska - First term Democrat Mark Begich can be beat in a red state.
• Iowa - Retiring Democrat Tom Harkin.
• North Carolina - Democrat Kay Hagan.
• Colorado - Democrat Mark Udall.
• Arkansas - Democrat Mark Pryor.

The question now is, what are Republicans going to do about Democrat voter fraud in these races? What will McConnell do to make sure that the necessary oversight and publicity is laid in advance to watch out for improprieties?

Given McConnell's weakness in the face of Democrat pressure, the answer is that he will do nothing.

We need to win three of the bottom listed seats and oust McConnell from the Senate, if we really want to see conservative change have a chance.
