McConnell is losing to the democrat. He has terrible approval in KY among conservatives, and that is what is giving Grimes the edge over him in the polls.

Key here is whether the GOP nominees will be able to stay on message or will the bizarre urge to make offhanded comments pertaining to rape overtake them. I love the TEA Party movement, TP-backed candidates often commit unforced errors that show they’re not ready for prime time.

He straddles the fence - or at least tries to on abortion:

Authored bill for 24-hour waiting period for abortion

Brown has angered abortion-rights groups with acts like his cosponsorship of the Women's Right to Know Act, which would require a woman to wait 24 hours before having an abortion and to review pictures and information detailing the developmental progress of her fetus.

My problem with this is that abortion is murder - flat out. A human being's life, NOT something called a fetus, is terminated. If anything can be worse then it is that it is terminated by the choice of the one person God and nature have chosen to protect it throughout it's life - the mother.

Women abdicating what should be extremely honored positions in our society has led to a greatly diminished culture. I blame Hugh Hefner for one - turning women into no-consequences sex objects - although he clearly was only a symptom and hardly the only cause.

I guess this is my soapbox - abortion. It gets me worked up.

They need to be sent to some kind of week long total immersion boot camp where some kind of Patton type (Dana Loesch maybe?) hammers on them for 120 hours straight.

I remember Barone's optimism in '12.

I'm guessing, though, that he was looking at actual numbers rather than accounting for widespread voter fraud.

Republicans will do that again at their peril.

Sometimes I’m surprised that many Freepers are willing to accept unvetted candidates or unattractive candidates (not in physical sense, but in demeanor, etc) as long as the candidates are spewing conservative messages.

Is this the same Michael Barone that predicted Romney would win in 2012?

If we fight smart, instead of vindictive and angry, we can pull this off.

They looked great in 2012 too and the end result was disaster. I love how we brag and brag about how great we are until we see the results.

Oh Lord. Just noticed Scott Brown is running again in another state. Can’t we get rid of him? Somebody better must be living in New Hampshire and not some carpetbagger. If he were conservative that would be one thing, but I think his running in NH is a joke.

0bama’s approval levels spiked up just in time for the Nov 2012 elections and his army of LIVs voted down ticket. 0bama’s approval rating will probably be the most important determinant, unless the Dems voter fraud schemes can steal away 5% or more.

Who believes a poll from Dem party push pollsters PPP!These are the frauds who ran a series of phony polls showing Ken C getting crushed in VA and he lost by only 2 pts because PPP help create a false reality which even the conservative media-pushed by showing these phont polls resukts which then
intentionally deflated the Gop base !

Barrone is pro amnesty, so he doesn’t factor that into his analyses.

When Boehner gets amnesty, which he and Goodlatte are now planning to do after the primaries, all those poll numbers will go down the tubes.

MOst Alaskans I talk to say Begich has always been a fool. He
started photo radar which ran him outta politics in late 90’s. He votes with Obama all the time. But most of all, he voted for Obama Care and they ain’t gonna forgive that one. Begich is toast.

Thanks for writing you book on Reid.

When I read your book I will be looking for why the other Democrat Senators never challenge Reid.
