Debunking The Media Lie: Democrats Confirm They Are Not Pulling Out Of Kentucky Senate Race

Sorry, media and Republicans, but no. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) talking point is not what’s going on.

Unlike the national Republican Party pulling out of Michigan because their candidate is such a fail, the national Democratic Party is not abandoning Alison Lundergan Grimes (D-KY) just because they are moving a lot of ad money to other races. They are investing in the unprecedented ground game in Kentucky. Investing is the opposite of pulling out.

Kentucky Democrats confirmed that the DSCC had not reserved ad time past what they had already paid for, so there was no advertising to “pull”. This entire narrative only works if Grimes were a bad candidate, but she is an excellent candidate in a race marked as a toss up. Furthermore, Guy Cecil, the Executive Director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee tweeted that he just signed a $300,000 wire to help get out the vote for Alison in Kentucky:

Guy Cecil @guycecil

Just signed a $300,000 wire for the KY Get Out The Vote operation for @AlisonForKY. That's an interesting view of "pulling out of the race"

2. Yep and they said so from the get-go.

After the ALG campaign posted on Facebook that they have $16 million on hand, the DSCC decided to shift funds elsewhere for TV ads but remain fully invested in GOTV in Kentucky.

4. It's upside-down time at DU: How Grimes went from hero to zero!!

18 threads sniveling about how she didn't answer the question correctly, or sumpting!!

Yet, McConnell is the one that shut down the federal government just last year!!!!!

[PAProgressive28]

7. And because she did things like not answer that question

Turtle will have the chance to do it all over again

8. And you know that how?

It does NOT matter what the ads that McConnell runs on tv say about Grimes!!!
McConnell can NOT run on his own record in the Senate!!!!!!!!!!!


McConnell shut down the federal government just last year!!!!

McConnell is the one who allowed this country's credit rating to slip all the way from AAAA+++ to AAA+++ for the first time in this country's history!!!!

McConnell is the one who caused the federal government to incur $24 BILLION -- with a B -- DOLLARS OF DEBT because of that 10-day government shutdown.

And, on top of that, McConnell is RESPONSIBLE for the SEQUESTRATION!!!!!!!!!!

6. When Grimes gets done mopping up the floor with McConnell next month, I hope some of you . .
