(5,066 posts)When first reported she was at 31 and she moved to 37%.Yeah I know McConnell has 61% of the 1% In but always good when you
start to go up.
1% tells us nothing.
Leading In absentee voters is good sign.

(9,314 posts)Once again, I listened to Chris Matthews and Andrea Mitchell this evening panning her for not admitting she voted for Obama. If she loses, that will be one of the primary reasons (so they both said).
They are both dead wrong. First of all, we all have the right to the privacy of our vote. Secondly, these people are commentators, not campaign managers. If she had said "I voted for Obama", that immediately would have been turned into an ad which would have run the rest of the election season to try and poison Obama-haters against Grimes. It would have been a classic example of shooting one's self in the foot, at which time the talking heads would have said her response admitting she voted for Obama was a great example of a mistake a novice would make, and that would be the reason she would lose her race....

(5,066 posts)But more important things for dems to consider
1:She will vote Democratic In senate on many issues
2:She will vote for harry reid as majority leader
I hope McConnell goes down and she wins.
I can't believe any In her campagin would privately tell MSnBC The hope is to keep loss small.Then again corporate media may be
lying about that.

(5,417 posts)If you are going to run as a Democrat, its not really a secret if she voted for Obama. When she gave that reponse, I thought it was a turning point in her campaign, and it was the point I stopped donating. I live in Ohio. If I lived in KY I would have voted for her today, but I just felt like we could have found someone better to run.
