DSCC going back up with ads for Alison Lundergan Grimes in Ky.

[Ykcutnek]

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee plans to go back on the air in Kentucky after the party has been encouraged by new polls suggesting the race against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is within reach.

The party committee is reserving $650,000 in airtime to boost Alison Lundergan Grimes after reviewing recent internal and public polling, a DSCC official told POLITICO. The polling, the source says, suggested that independent voters are moving in the Democrat’s direction.

The decision comes after the big-spending party committee said last week it had no plans to spend on the air in Kentucky until Election Day, a sign many interpreted as meaning that Washington Democrats had given up on the race. But with the new ad buy and ongoing DSCC investment in the Grimes voter turnout effort, Democrats are signaling they believe they can still pull off an upset in one of their few pickup chances.

1. The claim that Grimes was being abandoned was bogus

2. Now the same pundits and the GOP, but I repeat myself, are trying to spin this as a bad thing.

Calling it a desperate act.

4. Excellent.

I don't know how much I am going to like Grimes, but I know how much I don't like McConnell.

5. She does better without them...

in my opinion.

Money spent on ads mean little unless the ads have something worthwhile to say.
