    Poll: McConnell Opens Up Large 8-Point Lead Over Grimes

    An NBC News/Marist poll shows McConnell’s strongest positioning yet. His 8-point lead among likely voters, 47 percent to 39 percent, is outside the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points. Libertarian candidate David Patterson pulled 8 percent.

    Chuck Todd, moderating his first episode of “Meet the Press” on Sunday, noted the success Grimes has had fundraising when he announced the new numbers.

    “In red-state Kentucky, Alison Grimes, a Democrat, tons of money, she’s behind eight,” Todd said. “Not looking very good for her.”

    It shouldn't be, but there were a lot of people predicting McConnell was toast. Which was insane, given it's a red state and this is a GOP year.

    McConnell can't lose in Kentucky.

    Kentuckians lose either way with these big government 'Fascist-For Sale' politicians.

    Grimes campaign is just downright moronic... trying to distancing herself from Obama, while her frigin parents visit the White House. Then again, it's the illusion of choice in the general election of ringers.

    I came to this thread to read that. I knew it was inevitable that somebody was going to post that.

    Obama is the Angel of Death to lesser Democrat politicians. 2014 will see as much of a personal f-u from the electorate to a President as can be given.

    If Grimes wins we'd be stuck with her for two decades in the Senate. She'd be a fixture in the Senate, ugh. At least with McConnell this will be his last term before retirement and then hopefully Massie will run.

    McConnell won by six points in 2008, during the big Obama/Democratic sweep. Why would he do worse than that in a GOP year, in what is a very red state?

    Plus, Grimes is a mediocre opponent.

    I've actually donated to this guy:



    Hope he wins.

    These come as Grimes allegedly takes the lead.

    After two polls in his favor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell again has slipped behind Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes, according to the latest Bluegrass Poll.

    Grimes, Kentucky's secretary of State, now leads the veteran five-term senator 46% to 44% among likely voters, the survey found. While that advantage is within the poll's margin of error, it represents a 6-point swing to the Democrat since the last survey in late August.

    Another "noble" liar.

    They're both awful. When will Americans pull their heads out and stop voting for the two-headed one party statists?

    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.

    I am guessing that if Mitch wins then the Senate will get a full vote on Audit The Fed

    Wait, which slave master is the nicer one?
    "One thing my years in Washington taught me is that most politicians are followers, not leaders. Therefore we should not waste time and resources trying to educate politicians. Politicians will not support individual liberty and limited government unless and until they are forced to do so by the people," says Ron Paul."

    Well if a political pro like you guesses that, it must happen. Lock it. My guess is that McConnell becomes speaker, he will let Rand Paul down like Ronalad Reagan let Ron Paul down. It's the "GOP thing to do." Tradition. We will see.

    Rand to McConnel and Ron to Reagan is a faulty analogy. There are very different dynamics at play here vs back then.

    Put it this way: Since the beginning of the race, only four independent polls have put Grimes ahead, and three of them were from this same pollster (Bluegrass).
