Two recent polls released in Kentucky show the Senate race between incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes tightening in the final month.
On Monday, a Bluegrass poll showed Grimes with a two-point advantage over McConnell, 46 to 44 percent. Those numbers are within the poll's margin of error, however they represent a positive swing for Democrats in recent weeks.
Over the weekend, a New York Times/CBS/Yougov poll showed McConnell holding a six-point lead over Grimes, 47 to 41 percent.
The race in Kentucky could determine control of the Senate as Republicans look to gain six seats to control the upper chamber.

Classic "sour grapes" behavior. In other words...true losers.
That is a very foolish stand.
Seattle...... is your seattle showing
I support your voting for Grimes. As far as I’m concerned putting rinos in charge is worse than letting the democrats keep it. First of all, there’s no difference. Second, as soon as Mitch is sworn in as majority leader the media will start blaming the republicans for everything. Then in two years we’ll have a democrat congress and Hillary or Liz.
How does voting for Grimes serve this purpose?
Mitch McConnell wants our national debt to keep going up and that’s obvious from his cloture vote earlier this year.
The last thing I would do as a conservative is to help him in any way, shape or form including spying on the Democrat and her camapign with any video equipment.
We WILL remember you when the Harry Reid is again the Leader of the Senate...

Megadonors meet behind closed doors to convince GOP to support gay ‘marriage’

Billionaire donor Paul Singer held a secret, closed doors meeting with other megadonors to promote same-sex “marriage” within the Republican Party.
The Washington Blade reported that Singer and a number of wealthy donors, politicians, and the head of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) met on Thursday to discuss how to swing the GOP in favor of redefining marriage.
Relying on four anonymous sources, the Blade found that HRC president Chad Griffin, a Democratic operative, was expected to speak at the event. Prominent Republicans are expected to be in attendance, including former Bush administration Solicitor General Ted Olson, who has led lawsuits against California and Virginia in support of same-sex “marriage.”
Former GOP Senator Norm Coleman, former Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman — who “came out” as gay years after his term ended — and Republican Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania were also expected to attend. Dent is one of the few House Republicans in favor of changing the legal definition of marriage, while Coleman has lobbied for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act on Capitol Hill. Coleman now heads the American Action Network and is on the board of the Republican Jewish Committee.
Singer, whose gay son has reportedly influenced his support for same-sex “marriage,” has long been a powerhouse GOP donor on issues like lower taxes and reducing regulations. In the last several years, he has also become a leading influence in the marriage battles, donating at least $10 million to states to redefine marriage.
You are denying that conservatives will be in charge of some committees.
Why do you think Cruz is campaigning? As a conservative he understands that GOP control is obviously better than Reid.
You smarter than Cruz? Don't think so.
Based on your tagline, you must believe the Republicans are Pro-Life.
I’m afraid as with other issues most of them just say that to get your vote and organizations like National Right To Life that are linked to the GOPe political machine put out voter guides claiming 95 percent of Republicans are Pro-Life because they voted for some bill to limit some abortions after 20 weeks.
These Republicans are a far cry from Ronald Reagan who said abortion should not legal anytime after conception with exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother.....
I don’t see Cruz campaigning for McConnell or Cochran, only Roberts.....
The logic of those on this thread who are going to vote for Grimes is confounding. I can (sort of) understand sitting out the election. But to actively vote for a Democrat just because they want to “clean house” is patently absurd. Ms. Grimes is young and attractive, and will potentially be in the seat for decades if she decides she wants to be. Incumbents are very difficult to knock out. So by a need to “punish” Mitch and the establishment GOP, these people will actively support putting a Democrat in a seat for possibly decades, with all the consequences that come with it.
Good strategy fellas. And you wonder why Republicans never win??
Use Bing. Here’s a story.
Oh I have a bunch of links, I just wanted to see how far he’d go in avoiding admitting the truth.
As expected he simply resorted to Alynski.
I won’t be voting FOR Grimes, but I will be writing in a Conservative instead of voting for McConnell.
I agree that cleaning out the Ruling Class Judenrats is Job #1, but I do not think we are going to be able to do it from within the corrupted and bastardized party that declared war on Conservatives.
We need to go elsewhere.
Amash joined 104 Democrats and 16 Republicans in voting against the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).[38] Amash called it “one of the most anti-liberty pieces of legislation of our lifetime”.[39] Amash has co-sponsored an amendment to the NDAA that would ban indefinite military detention and military trials so that all terror suspects arrested in the United States would be tried in civilian courts.
Amash also voted against defunding Planned Parenthood.
Oh...earlier you said the reason was that you were "tired".
Not very credible, are you?
