WTF, NO DEMs seeking to challenge repugs for rand paul's senate seat!

[elleng]

HECKUVA party you're running, deb!



(Heard on Lawrence Show.)


Senator Jon Tester
It is the only organization solely dedicated to electing Democrats to the United States Senate. The DSCC's current Chairman is Senator Jon Tester of Montana, who succeeded Senator Michael Bennet following the United States Senate elections, 2014.

1. I'm not a bit surprised.

Debbie's never met a Republican she couldn't help.

[elleng]

3. FFS!

We NEED the Senate!

[abelenkpe]

2. That's really depressing. Nt

[SickOfTheOnePct]

4. I don't get it either

Sure, it's unlikely that anyone would beat Paul for the seat, but at least make a damned attempt.

[mopinko]

5. unacceptable.

congressional seats, sometimes. but to let a senate seat go unopposed? just not acceptable.

6. Just googled:

7. McConnell beat Grimes +16 in 2014

And everyone hates that guy. I really don't blame them for not wasting any money or effort there since Paul will easily win in 2016. They should focus on the more competitive Senate races like Illinois, Florida and Wisconsin.

8. You say that as if Grimes ran a vaguely competent campaign.

KY had a Democratic governor....until Conway ran a campaign almost as bad as Grimes last year.

Democrats can win in KY. They just can't be utterly incompetent.

10. Good grief. nm

[msongs]

9. no democrat for bernie has stepped up? oh no! oh no coat tails that is lol nt

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. Sgt Schultz & those before her, with Obama's blessing, has replaced HD's 50-state strategy with a

no-state strategy. With her gang of fools in charge, we are becoming a permanent minority party.

[elleng]

12. with NOTHING!

[BluegrassDem]

13. Actually, Lexington mayor Jim Gray, is openly considering running

So it's too early to say no credible Dems will run against Paul. Gray is an openly gay, progressive, mayor. He's also a very rich businessman. Not sure he'd win statewide, but he'd be very credible.

[elleng]

14. Thanks. Good to hear.

[ViseGrip]

15. Yes, good to hear, as this tells me the PARTY has not lined anyone up. This is going on everywhere!

In Florida, it's been going on since 2006 under Chair Thurman and now Alison Tant, in concert with DWS.
The current chair, Alison Tant Richards, is the wife of Barry Richards, who was a lawyer for Bush vs. Gore in 2000. Her hubby worked for Bush. She does nothing to farm candidates, only if a non establishment runs, she'll put someone up with lots of corporate cash to take them out in a primary. After years of this, no one wants to run. Your own party works against you. I could give you many, many examples, but most important to know, is this bullshit is transcending across the U.S. This IS the DLC, and their party. Both parties now fish out of the same money bucket. They are all in corporate lockstep.

So why the hell would they go look for someone to fill Rand's seat? They will wait to see who runs....and if the candidate COULD take the seat...you'll see a DLC'er put in the race.

IT'S STATUS QUO BABY ALL THE WAY!

Little Debby needs to go! So many want this but we're ignored here too.
