Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee appears to be throwing in the towel on Alison Lundergan Grimes

The Democrats chance of holding the Senate is rapidly dwindling...
FLORENCE, Ky. (AP) — The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has stopped running TV ads in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race, a troublesome sign for Alison Lundergan Grimes in her challenge of Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
In a statement, the committee says it has spent more than $2 million in Kentucky and is still funding get-out-the-vote operations. The committee says it will continue to monitor the race, but it has made no commitment to go back on the air in support of Grimes, who has been pummeled by tens of millions of dollars in attack ads by McConnell and his allies.
The Democratic committee continues to spend heavily in other competitive races in Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia and elsewhere as it tries to prevent Republicans from winning a Senate majority.

Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes’s campaign accused of trying to bribe opponent to drop out...

Well, Alison Lundergan Grimes is a democrat, but her campaign denies this is true.Grimes will face either Sen. Mitch McConnell or Conservative Matt Bevin.

Via The Hill:
A third-party candidate in the Kentucky Senate race has accused Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes’s campaign of trying to buy him out of the race.

Ed Marksberry claims in a 15-page missive that affiliates of her campaign offered him and his campaign manager benefits in exchange for his full exit from the race. Marksberry dropped out of the Democratic primary last year to run as an independent after alleging the state party inappropriately favored Lundergan Grimes.

“We met and I was told that Alison’s campaign would like to ask me to consider stepping out of the race,” Marksberry wrote in the document, published on local political blog Page One Kentucky.

Stupid: Demo Senate Candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes claims Kentuckians need Obamacare because of "doughnut burgers"

Senator Mitch McConnell most amused...

Via CNS News:
Kentucky Secretary of State and Democratic Senate Candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes defended Obamacare, saying three reasons why Kentuckians need affordable health care coverage: a “donut burger, the chili cheese-steak and the covered french fries.”
Speaking at the Kentucky State Fair, Lundergan Grimes was asked by Joe Arnold of WHAS 11 (Louisville) if she agrees with Republicans who say Obamacare hurts senior citizens, and if she would delay the healthcare expansion.
She responded “As I’ve said before, I’m troubled with certain aspects of the Affordable Care Act, but we’re here at the state fair and if there’s three reasons why Kentuckians, especially our seniors, need access to affordable health care coverage. You just have to look over to the right where you see the donut burger, the chili cheese-steak and the covered french fries that are here.”
Keep on reading…
Hopefully, Grimes will get Obama to come to Kentucky and campaign with her on the merits of Obamacare...
