[elleng]

suddenly. Denied impropriety.

edit: Another thing, did we know about this?

Mitch McConnell May Have Committed A Felony and Democrats Demand An Investigation.

In a letter to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, the Kentucky Democratic Party is calling for an investigation into whether Mitch McConnell used official government resources to solicit contributions to his reelection campaign.

3. I hope that Allison Grimes kicks the turtleman into retirement

This resignation will not help the turtleman

4. your mouth to God's ear, Gothmog!

I have been a bit despondent that McConnell will win again and we'll be stuck with that f*cker for another 6 years. This gives me a ray of hope. Grimes would be great. I like her a lot.

5. I like her too, yank,

but was disappointed with her interview on Lawrence show because she appeared to respond to every question with a 'bit' from her stump speech. This is good because she doesn't misspeak, but she wasn't very responsive. She surely has that speech down pat! (distinguish this from Hillary!)

6. I guess she's a bit of a newbie and that's why she doesn't veer off her original message.

Wasn't she the state AG, or am I mis-remembering that...

7. She IS the KY Secretary of State, yank,

and her father is Jerry Lundergan, a former Kentucky Democratic chairman and state representative.[1] Grimes was the third of five children, all girls. As a child, Grimes knocked on doors on behalf of her father's political campaigns, and also drove voters to the polls on election day.

8. Ah, right!

Do you get the feeling that her messaging is a bit over rehearsed is because she's nervous?

[elleng]

9. I don't think she's a bit nervous,

she may have decided to use her pre-packaged speech so as NOT to misspeak and be caught up trying to undo an error, a strategy.

[CTyankee]

10. Well, I hope it works for her and she wins.

I can't stand that man...

[elleng]

11. Heck yes!
