andrea mitchell seems troubled that allison lundergan hasn't found a 'good answer' to who she voted

[spanone]

for.

called her response in the debate 'awkward'

fuck the 'liberal' m$nbc

[valerief]

1. Mrs. Greenspan always supports her GOP candidates. nt

[hrmjustin]

2. Her concern is noted.

[JoePhilly]

3. Andrea should be on Fox ... but she isn't blonde enough.

[spanone]

4. wendy davis is on and not taking any of her shit.

[JoePhilly]

6. That's very good to hear!!

I'd like to see Davis beat the crap out of the weasel Chuck Todd.

[Mike Daniels]

19. Nor young enough either

If the women talking heads on FOX looked more like Margaret Thatcher or Queen Elizabeth than some Playboy centerfold FOX wouldn't have anywhere near the ratings they have now.

[jen63]

37. She's sure dumb enough.

It's painful to watch her.

[sharp_stick]

5. My answer, most of the time

when someone asks who I voted for is "Go fuck yourself", perhaps Mitchell would have been mollified by that response. At the very least it's what she deserves.

[femmocrat]

7. I thought her reply in the debate was very good.

She obviously took time to think about it and word it more carefully.

[scarystuffyo]

12. You got to be kidding

It was terrible

[femmocrat]

35. Well, the WaPo agrees with me! LOL

And so does Kentuck (see below)

We are all entitled to our opinions.

[kentuck]

20. I agree.

And I think most of the country would agree with her also.

[muriel_volestrangler]

43. So, is the problem that she voted for the Republicans, and can't admit it?

If you're looking for a way to avoid admitting that, I guess that was as good as any. But not being able to come out as a 2008 & 2012 Democrat is a pretty embarrassing position for a 2014 Democrat to be in.

If, on the other hand, she did vote for Obama in 2008 and 2012, but now doesn't want to admit it, that's shameful. A Democrat shouldn't run from a simple, obvious vote that over half the voters in the country managed to do.

[Proud Public Servant]

8. I agree with her

I'm not troubled by the fact that Grimes voted for Obama;
I'm not troubled by the fact that she can't admit that in Kentucky;
And I'm not troubled by the fact that she's trying, however unsuccessfully, to claim a right to privacy on teh matter.

But...

I AM troubled by the fact that the idiots running her campaign didn't see this coming and deal with it months ago; and
I AM troubled by the fact that their ineptness may cost us a pick-up; and
I AM troubled by the phrase "Mitch McConnell, majority leader."

This is not on the MSM, much as I loathe them. This is pure, utter incompetence on the part of the Grimes campaign.

[questionseverything]

27. actually it is totally on the msm

collectively ignoring tons of important issues in the debate

and collectively tossing the dem under the bus

nothing new here

[CTyankee]

39. Oh the msm will ALWAYS go for the sensational, lowest denominator issue in a campaign...

substance just isn't that "interesting."

The campaign overestimated the intelligence of the public and the media...

[Travis_0004]

9. she should have been prepared for the question

She had to at least know the question would be asked. I dont get why she is avoiding answering the question
Everybody assumes she voted for Obama.

She does have the right not to answer the question, but Mitch has the right to use her lack or response against her.

[peace13]

30. In my family growing up...

we were taught that it is rude to ask who anyone voted for. I wonder why it is anyone's business?

[Travis_0004]

31. she is running for Congress

I think its a fair question to ask. I wouldnt ask that to a coworker, but I see nothing wrong asking the question to a politician.

Everybody knows it was Obama so why hide. If she keeps ducking the question it will be asked more and more.

[scarystuffyo]

10. It was the easiest question to answer that she has been asked during the entire campaign

It was a yes answer and move on

It was strange to watch her fumble this so badly

[Logical]

11. I 100% agree with her. Answer the fucking question! nt

[kentuck]

14. Right!

And give Mitch the soundbite he's been looking for. The Grimes campaign knew this was coming - they were not blindsided. I guess she should defend the President at all costs?? Even though the President never gave her a second thought when he threw her under the bus?

[Logical]

15. This press is a LOT worse than saying she voted for Obama! nt

[kentuck]

18. I think we should wait on the next legitimate poll.

Should be out sometime this week, maybe ?

[kelly1mm]

34. Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is pulling out of Kentucky so it is not looking good. nt

[Mike Daniels]

23. At minimum....

"while I don't agree with some of Obama's policies I did feel he was a better candidate than either of the GOP's offerings and I cast my vote accordingly"

Granted one's vote should be private but anything that in effect said "Hello? I'm a member of the Democratic party, who do you think I voted for?" would have been better optically.

[Logical]

24. Perfect answer! Nt

[kentuck]

13. I'm thinking Alison must have said something disturbing...

...to the ruling class??

What is so wrong about defending the secret ballot and the right to protect that privacy and not to fall into the trap of Mitch McConnell and the corporate media???

[Politicalboi]

16. I can't stand watching Mrs. Greenspan

Isn't she rich enough already. She's married to one of the Raisin Men of the 80's.


<a href="http://imgur.com/rsnZt7l"><img src="" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>

[fadedrose]

36. That's how she get important people to interview

It ain't her looks, or her voice, or anything. It's the connections.

[Supersedeas]

42. so i'm not surprised by her dissemination of this hack job

[edhopper]

17. But untroubled by

Mitch's desire to get rid of Obamacare while keeping Kynect which can only exist with Obamacare intact.

The real issues are so boring.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

21. Her answer should have been something like:

I think it would be a terrible precedent to demand that a candidate reveal who she voted for, but - wink, wink, nod, nod - I don't think it's too hard to figure out that answer."

And MOVE ON to another topic!

[City Lights]

22. It's none of her damn business!

End of story.

[malaise]

25. She never seemed perturned that her husband didn't know that

his economic model failed for years before he admitted it publicly.

Fugg Mrs Greenspan.

[liberal N proud]

26. Someone needs to ask Andrea why we have these...

[louis-t]

28. She should have said "Yes, I voted for him...

c,mon, I'm a Democrat." and left it at that.

[maxrandb]

29. Maxrandb is troubled

that anyone gives a f$#k what Andrea Mitchell is "troubled" by.

[BeyondGeography]

32. Grimes' refusal to admit she voted for Obama is nothing more than catering to racists

and their tender little feewings. She is not leading, she's cowering.

She hasn't found a good answer because when that's your starting point, there is no good answer.

[DonCoquixote]

33. remember how Big Dawg

supported her instead of Ashley Judd? Bet people are wishing they let Judd run.

[kentuck]

38. She's protecting her friend, Chuck

That's all.

[Vinca]

40. I'm disgusted with Grimes.

Obama haters aren't going to vote for her anyway and people who support the POTUS are turned off by the whole brouhaha. Yesterday I sent an email to my Senator, Jean Shaheen, and told her she should be honored to have the President campaign with her. What's wrong with Democratic candidates . . . have they all had their spines removed? Back to Grimes . . . she should be beating the Kentucky healthcare situation like a drum. She could get the votes of the 500,000 who enrolled if they realized it is "Obamacare" and Mitch wants to take it away.

[pansypoo53219]

41. thew gnewz meedia must make obama toxic at all costs. BOO!
