McConnell’s political mechanics is sabotage, subterfuge and assault of Conservatives first, and foremost. He has not hit Grimes as hard and as viciously as he did Bevin in the primary.
McConnell began slamming Bevin over a year-and-a-half before the primary. I got direct mail and heard endless radio ads bashing Bevin’s wealth, family, business and personal life in vitriolic ways he has not yet unleashed on Grimes.
Most of his ads here are almost totally focused on tying her to Obama. I’m waiting to see if he will attack her personal life and family like he did Bevin’s.
I do not expect the oligarchy to “lose” - but I will be damned before I fill in a square for McConnell.
Disagree. McConnell muddied the waters early to denounce Bevin as 'no Conservative' and claimed him to be 'Bailout Bevin" tying him to Obama and 'big money interests' in Washington.
"Bevin is not Conservative" while lauding himself as the ONLY Conservative muddied the primary along with all his vicious attack ads - most of which were bullshite.
If Bevin won the primary, this election might be a contrast between Conservative positions and Grimes' Leftism, but I would not doubt the GOP would have yanked the carpet from under Bevin in the General Election had he won.
It was not a landslide for McConnell in the primary. He is solidly disliked.
Put pork talks and rhetoric walks in a country where principles are spat on and seen as a liability while cash and subsidy are valued.
I just heard that ‘The King’ (no not Obama, but NASCAR’s King - Richard Petty) is going to do ads for Tellis.
Without Helms, NC perishes; might as well merge with SC.
