I wonder if Grimes would win a poll of freepers, she’d at least be competitive, which is sickening. A recent poll alleged that a clueless 25% of Bevin supporters would back her in November.
To anyone upset that Bevin lost, that’s like being upset you didn’t win the lottery, he had no chance, weak challengers like him don’t win.
Good point. I don't know why so many are treating the results in KY tonight as a shocking blow to the Tea Party. McConnell winning easily isn't news. If I lived there, I would have cast a protest vote for Bevin, but he was a long shot from the start, and completely DOA after he gave that speech to the "cockfighting" group. It's like getting upset that Nancy Pelosi was re-elected in San Francisco.
Another one where the outcome is a foregone conclusion is that "Obama's conservative cousin" will lose in Kansas. But in that case, I'm looking forward to the primary because there's nothing wrong with the incumbent and we need that race to go away so we can focus on defeating actual RINOs instead of eating our own.
BTW, has anyone heard from the “Rand Paul is our heroic tea party savior and should be the GOP nominee for President in 2016” crowd tonight? ;-)
I'd never vote for Grimes but I don't care about what is out of my influence.
