1. Thank GOD Conway has some "cahones"!

That would be lacking in most of these whiny dems! I just sent another donation to Conway's campaign.

2. Good you sent the donation, but

the ad IS horrible.

5. Same here. Good for Conway. n/t

3. I can't believe that Dems still allow themselves to be suckered

into criticizing other Dems. They have forgotten the damage that they do their image when the throw each other under the bus. If a Dem does something they don't agree with, why can't they just say, "No comment."

The repukes are hate-filled, racist pus-bags...........but they don't go around throwing each other under the bus!

4. Exactly!

The circular firing squad continues.

6. Yarmuth is up 23% in a poll conducted last month

It would appear that he knows what he is doing.

7. It was a desperation ad and he should be focusing on social security, medicare, and mine safety

that is what people care about.

8. Calm down and consider the position the Louisville, KY Congressman was in

The ad was at minimum a political mistake. The right is out saying that it is based on an "internet" story and (at least from one talking head) Paul does not even know the woman. The woman has refused to be publicly identified. Now, whether you or I believe the story (I think it likely true given Paul's initial reaction), this is not relevant enough - it is decades ago and not something that you could say that Paul is running on - to use given it's lack of 100% solid proof.

Now, I KNOW that the Republicans have used as that contain not only unproven things, but proven lies. That does not mean that we should. In addition, they have an echo chamber that we lack - they will counter the story for Paul and treat him as the wronged man, running for public office to do good.

What stinks is that Conway's SS ad - that used Paul's comment that both pushed an unpopular idea and said he woul not be honest about it when running and a supposedly excellent (I haven't seen it) mining safety ad will likely now be less successful in getting people to see Paul as too extreme. It also cuts in to one major Conway asset - he seemed a nice guy.
