Do you think Grimes was hurt by having a compound name? I know a lot of people who will vote against a person reflexively if they have that. Kentucky seems like exactly the type of place that would happen.
She was probably hurt more by having Hillary campaign for her for some idiotic reason, and also for refusing to answer a reporter's question about whether she had voted for Obama in 2012. :sleep:

No surprises so far, looks like the Dems will win in New Hampshire and N.C., but lose in Georgia.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I voted all R's too.

Bah.  Ohio Republicans are as squirrelly as they come.

Even though I live up in Cracker County, I'm still a Baltimore County property tax payer, so I never changed registration.  Voted all Ds, even though I had initially considered abstaining from governor, since Brown was O'Malley's LG and those fuckers cost me my job.

There was a Libertarian running for Attorney General that's made the race closer between the Democrat and the Fascist Party nominees, but that just felt...wrong.  Libertarian Attorney General.  Tits on a bull.
Here's what I don't get.  Yeah, O'Malley really fucked you, but at least you still have hope.  If Republicans ever took power, they would do everything they could to ensure that you never work again, or that if you do you'd be doing menial labour for $2 an hour, 14 hours a day, with no overtime.  The Democrats have many, many faults, but the current crop of Republicans are crossing the line from the venality and corruption that we in the West have come to expect of our politicians, into the territory that is commonly thought of as 'evil'.

Show some sense.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Not to mention her idiotic commercials.

So - do the 'out-of-this-world' Republicans gain control back in the Senate?

Will they shred Obamacare to Oblivion after all?

Hillary campaigned hard for Grimey in Northern KY.  Gave Grimey zero lift, apparently.
