Grimes does not need the DSCC or Majority pac to win. She has 4.4 million on hand.

The reason they are pulling out of KY is that she has enough to carry the her campaign for three weeks. The party is still spending money on GOTV in KY so she is not being abandoned.

The sky is not falling.

I think this one can still be won, and may well be.

The media is not being honest here. She posted her numbers on fundraising today and the party saw she has the money she needs so they are spending elsewhere now. The media is playing Mitch McConnell's lapdog on this.

Never give a Democrat an even break.

Honest to God, corporate control of the messaging in this country is only comparable to State & Corporate State control of the media in the various forms of dictatorship around the world in the last century. We can bitch about Russia Today, but they got nothin' on our own propaganda system.

Although McConnell leads 50-47, Gravis has a 1.4R+ lean according to 538 which puts race well within margin of error

And the DNC didn't even know about the DSCC's move until after it was announced to the public.

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"
