What do you think?
The Lexington Herald-Leader has a reporter named Sam Youngman and he has been carrying water for McConnell for a while and he had another attack piece on Alison Grimes today. It is interesting watching the desperation develop in the McConnel campaign. Keep your eye on this guy.

(348 posts)3. I think his pollsters are telling him bad news ...first he
Advertises for paid supporters at his rallies, and then he dodges the subject of having them there when asked.
Somewhere I heard if Louisville/Lexington brings in an extra 80k votes, Mitch is toast. I'll be driving folks to the polls that Tuesday!
