Kentucky Getting Ready to Ditch Mitch As Democrat Grimes Leads McConnell 48%-46%

What looked like it could be an anomaly is beginning to look like a real thing in Kentucky. The Democratic challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Alison Lundergan Grimes, is leading in a new poll from Public Policy Polling (PPP) by 2 points, on the heels of McConnell’s primary win. That’s right — if this is McConnell’s post-primary bump, he’s in trouble.
The poll contains a flood of bad news for McConnell. Eighty-nine percent of respondents are more likely to vote for a candidate who will pass legislation to create jobs. By an 80%-14% margin, voters (including 70% of Republicans) want a candidate that will close tax loopholes on millionaires. Seventy-eight percent of voters want a candidate who will end gridlock and partisanship. Seventy-six percent want a candidate that will make sure that the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes, and by a margin of 63%-31% voters oppose cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations.
Mitch McConnell opposes everything that Kentucky voters said they supported in the paragraph above. What’s even worse for McConnell is that voters strongly oppose what he supports. McConnell has been a vocal supporter of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. McConnell has personally blocked a wide range of job creation bills in the Senate, and he has publicly admitted that he is using gridlock as a strategy to destroy the Obama presidency.
“Grimes leads by a substantial margin among independents with 56% to McConnell’s 30%,” the PPP analyst noted. That’s a pretty big indictment of the incumbent Senator. But then, when 40% of his own party voted against him in the primary, the one narrative that was clearly intrenched was that Kentucky voters are sick of Mitch McConnell and his belief that creating jobs for Kentuckians isn’t his job. That gets old, especially when times are tough and in a state whose main industry has taken a hit.
The PPP analysis of what Kentuckians cared about showed marked support for what Democrats are championing in terms of making millionaires and corporations do their part, “(T)hey want to make sure that millionaires pay their fair share and do not get a lower tax rate than the middle class, and they want to close corporate tax loopholes, especially for shipping jobs overseas.”
And this is made all the more real and painful because PPP is a “liberal-leaning” pollster. And we all know that reality has a thing for liberals these days. Yes, that’s right. While other pollsters were unskewing themselves to show a horse race between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama in 2012, PPP was found the most accurate after they “projected a 2-point Obama victory and put him at the critical 50 percent mark, 50 to 48 percent over Romney.”

IMHO.
I've waited for this for decades.
I hope she sends the turtle into obscurity!
They should take this sign to the polls.
Please let it be.
Smack, smack smack and yum yummy yummy!
Oh please please please! This would be better than Tasty Cake any day (for those who remember the ad's jingle) 
but because of personal reasons (I REALLY don't like her father/family very much.. and had some run ins with her in her younger days that werent very flattering)..
with that being said, cant wait to vote for her and..
im going to be super happy to watch the turtle cry come election night.. because hes definitely going to lose..
thank goodness for primaries tho, so I could get my protest vote in 
Do it Kentucky! Get out the vote!
complained Occupy was a fail, and that the change in the national conversation would accomplish nothing: Go Piss up a rope, I was right.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING would make me happier. 
McConnell is getting boatloads of outside money for his campaign. You can help pack his bags by contributing to Alison's campaign.

Make it so!
It would be nice, but we must remember that Mitch is one of the dirtiest, meanest, lying, summabiches who ever got into the senate. He lies, cheats, and says anything to destroy an opponent, especially in a personal race. He may yet come up with a set of lies that would be effective.
