Alison Lundergan Grimes stays out of sight as speculation swirls

22. I understand where you're coming from...

But when President Obama signed this executive order: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/29/us/politics/obama-to-offer-rules-to-sharply-curb-power-plants-carbon-emissions.html

It sort of put ALG in a tight spot. She is not an anti-environmentalist but she had to choose between the coal miners in her state or the President who they thought put them out of work. It was not an easy road for her.

Other than that, what did she support that was so far right?? Was it when she went skeet shooting? She had said that she was for sensible controls on gun ownership.

Other than trying to put distance between herself and President Obama, because Hillary and Bill were old friends of the family. She had known them since she was 14 years old. She thought Hillary could make up whatever she may have lost with the President's supporters. Obviously, she was apparently wrong.

But what other issues was she "too far right" on? She took progressive positions with women and labor. She was supported by the United Mineworkers Union as well as the Steelworkers Union as well as the CWA (Communication Workers of America.) She was a role model for young girls and college students in the state of Kentucky. They loved her. She worked harder than anyone I had every seen.

I think we need to be careful about who we throw under the bus and why? If her stands were too far right for our Party, then we indeed can expect much tougher times in the future. We need to weigh more of the circumstances before we discard good Democrats, in my opinion. Also, we need to understand that this was an ass-whuppin' for our entire Party and we will need to pick ourselves up and stop all the self-analysis sooner or later.
