One of the duties of the Kentucky Secretary of State is to oversee elections. So shouldn't it seem a bit strange that such a person, Alison Lundergan Grimes, acts in a blatantly unprofessional manner by publicly gloating over the loss of a candidate she opposes by mocking him?

Not to MSNBC's Chris Matthews. He not only failed to question this, he happily gushed over Grimes while speculating about the next step in her political career. You can see Grimes' gloat followed by Matthews' gush in the following video.

The only possible future Alison Grimes now has is IF Hillary wins in November and appoints her to something since she has just alienated half the Democrats in Kentucky.

I didn’t even know Chris Matthews was running in Kentucky.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Alison Grimes was the lesser evil vs McConnell

[fortheDeclaration]

She barely beat Sanders in KY, which should have been an easy win.

If she loses in Calif, things could get very interesting.

The ‘Rats are known as same for good reason.

I wonder if the pledged super delegates can change their mind?

[Steely Tom]

Obama (or his spox) gloats over Republican losses all the time. I’ve never seen a President achieve so much pleasure when he defeats his domestic political opposition.

Bush and Reagan used to come out with olive branches when they won a battle.

wasn’t this the state where last night 2,000 votes suddenly rolled in for Hillary just as they reached counting 99% of the precincts with Sanders ahead by about 1,000 votes?

Democrats are ill behaved filthy beasts by nature.

Yup! The Jefferson County votes were held back until the last minute.

[napscoordinator]

Yep! They did in 2008.

It takes a long time to drive back from the cemetery ;-)

Democrats do not seek office to as a means of doing public service and governing well and wisely.

They seek office for the power it gives them and they use that power to force their beliefs and agenda on the citizens they are supposed to represent and to punish anyone in their way.

Then I really need to get some more popcorn for the show.

[cgbg]

So Allison stole it for Hillary—no wonder she was gloating!

[GOPJ]

When it takes ‘forever’ for ballot box counts to come in there’s usually fraud involved.

[wardaddy]

She’s hardly gloating geezuss

She’s campaigning for H!

Pretty routine

She’s cute but wrong

[Buttons12]

Superdelegates changed their minds in 2008...because Hillary suggested it, no?
If that’s correct, then they didn’t actually change their minds, they were released.
I’m asking. Lord knows I could be wrong about this! :)
