Faux News has a strong GOP bias? Who knew? It is entirely possible that Independents will win in Kansas and South Dakota, and Democratic incumbents will survive in NC, Alaska, Louisiana and Arkansas, The GOP could even lose Kentucky and Georgia. Not probable, but possible, because the GOP campaign about nothing has very limited appeal.

Lately I have been doing a fair amount of traveling in the more rural counties of Kentucky. I was shocked by how much Grimes is winning the sign race. Bourbon and Nicholas Counties in particular had at least 50 Grimes signs for every one for McConnell.

I live in Lexington, a bastion of blue in a sea of red, but there is a far higher percentage of McConnell signs here than in the surrounding counties.

My best guess on the reason for the large number of signs is that the old school Democratic machine is far more robust in Kentucky than the Republicans (only 2 Republican governors is over 60 years) and Grimes’s father is Jerry Lundergan. The very definition of political boss. If Grimes wins, I really do believe it will be because the state Democratic Party finally put its weight behind a federal election.

The Key to winning for the D’s is motivating folks to get and vote.

It would also be ‘nice’ if the Democrats would stop running away from Obama. Why? Because Republican pollsters told them to?

They calculate who the electorate is and have decided in the mid-terms older white voters are more motivated to vote, er something, so the D’s are pretending they never knew Obama? I am just saying that never works.

Hopefully, polls like this will do just that.

No. Shit.

Just like Gore did with Clinton, who still remains enormously popular. Dems don’t know what is good for them. They listen to Republicans. It’s appalling.
