Western Kentucky University's 2014 Big Red Poll released on Monday shows that incumbent Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) leads Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes by 3 points, 45% to 42%, among likely voters in the Kentucky U.S. Senate race. The poll, coming two weeks before election day, indicates the race is still close, despite numerous recent gaffes by Grimes and news that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has stopped funding television advertising in support of her candidacy.
5% of likely voters supported Libertarian David Patterson, and 8% were undecided.
The most surprising result of the poll is that, despite a bitter primary battle between Tea Party-endorsed Matt Bevin and McConnell, the Tea Party overwhelmingly supports McConnell over Grimes. "13% of those surveyed self-identified as members of the TEA Party." Among that group, McConnell "leads Grimes 87%-5%."
In addition "nearly a third (32%) of those who did not self-identify [as Tea Party members] indicated that they were sympathetic to the views expressed by the TEA Party." Among these Tea Party sympathizers, McConnell leads Grimes 70% to 21%....

You mean like voting for Mitt (and yes, I held my nose and did). But as long as the GOPe keeps putting up week-ass moderate (/spit) Republicans, we can expect the same results.
Will they prosecute IRS abuses? Benghazi? Fast and Furious?
Return to power sharing with the Democrats?
Romney was hardly "someone you know will loose". If as many people who had voted for McCain, voted for Romney, we would no longer have Obama ruining the country.
Im not a republican. So i guess this doesn’t pertain to me...
However I soon hope to be part of the effort to take over your party and replace its socialist members with limited government type folks.
Were coming for your party and we ARE going to own it. State by state, either we get a tea type in during the primary or we work to defeat your socialist GOPe in the general.
No loyalty to anything other than the cause. ZERO tolerance of “progressive” or statist GOPe.
maybe no obama, but the people in the background would be the same.
Mit is a F’ing socialist. His advisors would be the same.
McCain is a socialist as well..
Lindsay...
Mitch...
Thad...
boner...
The list goes on...
I expected you D bags to amp up your game the closer we get to the election.. heh... not gonna work this time.
Id rather lose the senate than support mitch or thad.
and I F’ing DARE you dumb M’er F’ers to throw a G.D. Bush or other progressive GOPe at us in ‘16... That is unless you REALLY want Hillary.
“Power sharing”
THAT RIGHT THERE told me EVERYTHING I needed to know about the Ahole GOPE real agenda.
If they are on “Your” side.. Then I wonder what side YOUR on...
Honestly, GOPe are NOT on the side of true limited government. They ARE ok with socialist tyranny... They WILL use vote fraud to defeat an actual limited government candidate who was on track to defeat one of their own.
Heh... just... F.U.
Going after McConnell for funnelling money to Cochrane is fair.
But McConnell did nothing against Bevins other than aggressively defend his seat against a challenger. Which is exactly what he’s now doing against Grimes.
And, Bevins turned out to be a horrible candidate. One who shot himself in the foot, repeatedly, and would be losing to Grimes by 5-15 points at this point if he’d won the nomination.
.........
| Poll | Date | Sample | MoE | McConnell (R) | Grimes (D) | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RCP Average | 9/20 - 10/19 | -- | -- | 46.6 | 42.2 | McConnell +4.4 |
| Courier-Journal/SurveyUSA* | 10/15 - 10/19 | 655 LV | 3.9 | 44 | 43 | McConnell +1 |
| Rasmussen Reports | 10/15 - 10/16 | 1000 LV | 3.0 | 52 | 44 | McConnell +8 |
| Western Kentucky Univ.* | 10/6 - 10/19 | LV | 4.1 | 45 | 42 | McConnell +3 |
You get the point...
Im dead serious... And im ANGRY.. Im Passionate about destroying the socialist GOPe.
You WILL notice that when people are “fighting mad” they abandon the use of more “civil” adjectives and adverbs for a more threatening and divisive vernacular more commonly heard on the battlefield.
If you want a civil discussion, abandon your support for the enemy. Otherwise you get a well deserved F.O.
No one cares he beat Bevin...
What we CARE about is that he issued a fatwa against conservatives. THEN he supported and enabled the vote fraud stealing of an election for Thad!
UNFORGIVABLE!
Certainly not. I'm simply taking the debate advice of Mark Twain.
Then why does the fact that he beat Bevins still keep coming up in discussions like this?
I swear, some “Conservatives” have just as much a sense of entitlement as the most Liberal/Progressive welfare queen when it comes to campaigns and electuons. They expect guys like McConnell to just roll over and give up their seats, with ZERO expectation or understanding that we need to FIGHT to take them away.
Yes, McConnell throwing that money to Cochrane is a legitimate tipping point, assuming (as I do) that McConnell knew it was going to be used to play the race card against McDaniels. So no disagreement there.
Your Post #40: My sentiments EXACTLY. One small correction: Undecideds usually break for the challenger 85%.
OK..
Take twains advice...
As long as your not making comments in support of the progressive GOPe you can do whatever you like with no input from me.
;)
Your statement ignored the fatwa he issued against conservatives.
also.. it wasnt JUST the “race card”. that wasnt even the bad part. heh.. A day without that card and we are wondering if the universe is about to end.
NO. It was partnering up with the democrats and willfully committing VOTE FRAUD in a republican primary against a candidate that BEAT the GOPe candidate.
THAT tells EVERYONE who these people are. WHAT they are... and who they see as the common enemy...
These people can die in a fire and i wouldn’t even piss on them to put it out.
Popular vote totals says otherwise. Where are you getting the data to support your contention?
2008: Popular vote 69,498,516 vs. 59,948,323 McCain got less than 60 million votes
2012: Popular vote 65,915,796 vs. 60,933,500 Romney got more popular votes than McCain did
