Because they lack the real world experience that would let them see through the bullshit and false promises of Dems. Some people never progress beyond that stage.Take that same phone book and try to find a GOP voter. Lexington and Louisville are college towns. Colege towns are packed full of democrat voters. Do you really expect the largest newspaper in each city to endorse any GOP candidate?![]()
Two major Kentucky newspapers have endorsed Alison Lundergan Grimes for Senate over incumbent Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R).
The Courier-Journal and the Lexington Herald-Leader both ran editorials Sunday in support of the Democrat, who currently serves as Kentucky's Secretary of State.
In its endorsement, the Courier-Journal's editorial board praised Grimes' stance on issues like the minimum wage and early childhood education, while accusing McConnell of "lacking a vision for Kentucky."
"[McConnell] lost his way to the point where he now is identified largely as the master of obstruction and gridlock in Washington," reads theendorsement. "Kentucky needs a U.S. senator who sees a higher calling than personal ambition and a greater goal than self-aggrandizement."
The endorsement also addressed Grimes' recent interview with the editorial board, during which sherepeatedly refused to say whether or not she voted for President Barack Obama in 2012.
"Ms. Grimes, to her credit, was willing to appear before this newspaper's editorial board," reads the editorial. "She did this fully aware that Mr. McConnell's campaign could — and did — seize on snippets to use in political attacks."
McConnell, the editorial board says, did not accept their invitation for a similar interview.
The Lexington Herald-Leader's endorsement strongly rebukes McConnell, who the editorial board says has "repeatedly hurt the country to advance his political strategy."
"The Senate may never recover from the bitter paralysis McConnell has inflicted through record filibusters that allow his minority to rule by obstruction," reads the editorial. "He poses as a champion of the right to criticize the government, but it's really his rich buddies' right to buy the government that he champions."
"If McConnell had a better record, he would not have to argue for six more years by obsessively linking Grimes to Obama, who will be gone in two years no matter what," the editorial continues.

It would be better for Kentucky and the nation if Grimes can defeat McConnell. I wish her good luck.
Take the Lexington phone book... drop it to the ground... wherever it opens, turn it over and lay it on those two open pages and drop a dart on it. Who ever it lands on would be a better choice than Mitch McConnel.
Is playing stupid somewhere in the liberal play book?
Why do you think (excuse the expression, why do you believe) higher education students vote for Democrats? Think real hard now.
