Now is the time each party will start pulling money out of races they don't think they can win. GOP did the same in Michigan last week.

McConnell has raised a hefty war chest, more than $23 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Grimes also raised a significant amount of money for a Senate race -- $11 million -- but it’s less than half of McConnell’s haul.

to bad, hopefully Grimes will keep slugging it out ...

Evidently the DNC has decided that they really don't want Mitch out of office...

They are pulling out of the race and abandoning Grimes.

Of course this is after her top donors and campaign workers on caught on tape admitting that she is lying to the people of Kentucky about her positions, especially on coal, and is gonna "F**k 'em after she's elected."

(Washington Post) - Roll Call newspaper — Fix alum! — broke the news Tuesday afternoon: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee had pulled its TV advertising for the final three weeks in the Kentucky Senate race. That decision effectively leaves Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes on her own and is rightly read as a sign that national Democrats believe the race is effectively over. (The DSCC didn’t not return an email seeking comment on their decision.)
The DSCC’s decision to pull out of Kentucky, a race in which they had spent months insisting was closer than most public polls showed it, is a recognition that in a year in which the Senate map and the national political climate are tilted against them, the party’s best chances to hold the majority now rests in trying to hold onto their endangered incumbents.
One Democratic strategist closely following the Kentucky race insists that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) is still beatable but that Senate Democrats have to prioritize sitting Senators at this point in the election cycle. “The DSCC action is less about the viability of the race, and probably the recognition that, in tough years the priority — in the House AND the Senate — is protecting the incumbents,” said the source. “In other words, defense not offense.”

The babe turned out to be a dud. I hope (moderate) senator McConnell appreciates the loyal republican Tea Party that held their noses and helped to get him elected. Maybe he will show more culyones if republicans gain the majority.
