Romney to Raise Money for McConnell in Kentucky

[IDemo]

Source: ABC News

Mitt Romney is coming to Kentucky to raise money for U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, the latest in a string of high-profile politicians getting in on one of the country's most competitive midterm races.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential nominee, won Kentucky with more than 60 percent of the vote. President Barack Obama remains unpopular in Kentucky, and McConnell — who is battling Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes in the toughest re-election campaign of his 30-year career — has spent millions trying to convince voters Grimes supports Obama's agenda.

"Governor Romney wanted to take the country in a different direction than President Obama in 2012, and Senator McConnell is proud to have his support as Kentuckians are given another opportunity to do that this November," McConnell spokeswoman Allison Moore said.

Romney will visit Lexington on Oct. 2 for a McConnell fundraiser. Kentucky native and Alliance Resource Partners CEO Joe Craft will co-host the event along with his fiancee, former Bush administration appointee Kelly Knight.

1. Le sigh

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. Mitt will probably tell him to keep his chin up.

What else can he say?

[Blue Owl]

13. Double that

n/t

[merrily]

26. What chin?

[C Moon]

3. Maybe Romney will suggest one of his a canned food drive ideas.

[Pauldg47]

23. Ha....

....that's a good one!

[C Moon]

24. Remember that?

I don't think the GOP could have chosen a more out of touch candidate.
Well, maybe they could have...there were several of them to chose from, actually.

[merrily]

28. Cain, Perry, Backman, Paul--one embarrassment personified after another.

4. Coalporations are people too, my friend..

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

5. Maybe their wives can have a horse dance off.

[merrily]

29. Even the horse lost.

[Thinkingabout]

6. It was a good thing McConnell had a smart woman sitting at side when

Alison was ripping him apart, to interpret what Alison was saying. Wait till the Big Dog Bill gets to Kentucky, he will explain what ACA has done for Kentucky citizens. I am watching this one, it would be great retirement party for McConnell. GOTV, elect Alison.

[ReRe]

25. Bill's already been there....

... a few weeks back. I betcha he'll be back before election day though.

[Thinkingabout]

32. Yep, bet he will not be cheering for Mitch, except for his retirement.

From what I have seen Alison is an up and coming star in the DNC.

7. Here comes Money Boo Boo.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Why doesn't he just give him some?

[hibbing]

15. My thought too

Take one of those luxury automobiles down your car elevator with a trunk load of cash and cruise to Kentucky.

Peace

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Certainly a lot less time and effort

And who wants to spend time with Mitch McConnell, anyway?

[Pauldg47]

21. My thoughts too.....

....typical republican tight ass!!

[Rhiannon12866]

22. GMTA!!!

[LloydS of New London]

9. Kiss Of Death

[CherokeeDem]

10. I live in Lexington....

How do you fumigate an entire city??????

Oh.... can't bear the thought of breathing the same air as Romney. I thought it was bad enough when Yukon Barbie came a few years ago to promote her book.

I think I'll leave the county on that day.

[davidpdx]

31. We'll have to take up a collection to get some air fresheners after they leave

All that smell of Republican has to stink like hell.

[vt_native]

11. Talk about a charm offensive!

Not!

[rurallib]

12. Sounds like the McConnell team admits they are in trouble

to dig as low as Romney. I am being serious.

[Hoppy]

14. Will he bring a binder full of women to Kentucky?

[rocktivity]

18. Don't you know? The women are already there!

19. Great, another nail in McConnell's coffin

Getting a person whose private equity fund at Bain caused huge amounts of grief by buying out companies and ripping the former bond between employer and employees with regards to employment, wages and pensions is not going to go well with those who know about it. Time for Grimes to take advantage of this.

[Major Hogwash]

20. Stick a fork in McConnell, he's done.

After all of the hateful comments that McConnell has made about immigrants, people of color, the poor, the elderly, and women over the last few years, bringing a complete douchebag like Mitt Romney in to spew his support of McConnell, is like Al Capone asking Lucky Luciano to vouch for him!!!!
