[bigdarryl]

2. I'm watching it but to be honest I don't know

How it effects Mcturtle in Kentucky not with those crazy republicans.Who wouldn't vote Democrat if there life depended on it

[elleng]

3. Hopefully 'those crazy republicans' don't make up the entire KY electorate,

and with a good Dem candidate, who exists, this enhances Dem odds.

6. There are more registered Democrats living in Kentucky than registered Republicans.

And the registration efforts to get even more people registered to vote this fall have been ongoing all summer long.

7. Good.

Thanks

10. Such examples of corruption could de-motivate Republican voters.

Corruption doesn't seem to be a disqualifier to the Republican voter in Ky.

Ron Paul 2012 campaign manager turned McConnell 2014 campaign manager.

Scumbag through and through.

[calimary]

15. Welcome to DU, Man from Pickens!

Glad you're here! Scumbag - hmm... yet another in a continuing series. Scumbags of a feather seem to - uh - stick - together. Sorry to be gross, but they deserve it.

17. Need a little help here . . .

Can someone provide me with the name and biography of an honest Republican after the Eisenhower Administration?

Just one. Don't need 100 or 10 -- just one.

[NBachers]

18. I never had a problem with George Romney; Everett Dirkson may fit in here, too.

I'm sure people can come up with huge lists of complaints against these two. But they seem to have come from a time when I didn't want every single republican to be immediately disintegrated.

[Sheepshank]

19. john huntsman seems like a stand up man

I think it's one of the reasons Obama sent him off to China during his first tenure as POTUS

20. Arnie Carlson MN GOP Gov January 7, 1991, to January 4, 1999

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arne_Carlson

...on October 23, 2008, he endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Following the July 1, 2011, shutdown of the state government after Governor Mark Dayton and state legislative leaders could not agree on a budget, Carlson teamed with Walter Mondale and several other prominent political and business leaders to propose a nonpartisan budget commission.[9]

Carlson and Mondale also teamed to oppose a Voter ID amendment to the state constitution in the 2012 election.[10] The amendment was defeated.

Glad you made me look cause he had dropped his GOP affiliation for Ind but Wikipedia says he is back with them. Only Pub I ever voted for. His ex-wife Barbara a DFL Feminist had her own radio show. It was entertaining.
