GOP's electoral prospects may be fading

The claims that the GOP will take the Senate may be exaggerated.  If you can't win Kentucky, how do you win the rest of the Senate races you have to win?

Anyway, this article here says McConnell of Kentucky is behind in the polls to the Democrat.  But McConnell is said to be ahead of Bevin, who is challenging him in the primary.

Alison Lundergan Grimes, has been running even or ahead of him in polls, but he's still got a hefty lead over Republican challenger Matt Bevin---Atlantic

How can this be?  The GOP has to win a net 6 seats to get control back, but that may be slipping away.  The debt vote shows how things are slipping.  Just two years ago, the GOP was willing to stake at least a little in getting the debt under control.  Now they are writing blank checks.  How can Bevin be behind after this fiasco?

The filibuster back in October is blamed for this in some quarters.  Really???

Just as I suspected, the troubled ObamaCare rollout isn't going to be the political bonanza claimed that it would be.  Enough people are going to sign up so that it may just become a problem for the GOP politically.  Yet the GOP leadership is basing their whole electoral strategy upon this.

That's what's wrong with the Cornyn vote.  He claims to be against the debt increase, but he paves the way for it just the same.  Phoney baloney political posturing.  What good does it do to win when you do nothing with the office?

The Texas primary is next month, but is anybody paying attention?  The mudslinging from the Cornyn campaign is mentioned in the article, but is that important compared to this?  Both these guys, Cornyn and McConnell are at the top of the GOP leadership in the Senate.  How do they get to be heavy favorites in their races after this nonsense?  What are people thinking?

Update:

You cannot blame Low Information Voters for voting for Obama when your own won't look at stuff like this.  Whoever says LIVs are responsible and doesn't look at this is kidding themselves and their audience.  If you can't or won't see that you are being played by the likes of McConnell and Cornyn, how can you have any credibility about so-called LIVs?  Physician, heal thyself.

And what about truth?  There are those who complain about not getting the truth in the Obama interview with O'Reilly.  Yeah?  How about getting some truth from the leadership of the GOP?  If you can't get the truth out of them, how in the world are you ever going to get the truth out of Obama?
