(10,745 posts)South Dakota, I'm afraid, is probably toast at this point; it's either gonna come down to Rounds or Pressler.

(15,534 posts)I just heard a talking head on NBC Nightly News say President Obama is a very unpopular president with terrible ratings.
Who am I to believe?

(24,328 posts)Brian Williams aka the Kent Brockman of US news is such a clod that if he reported on something I was looking at while he talked about it, I'd run out and have my eyes checked cuz I figure it was wrong

(24,328 posts)most of the outside groups have pulled out of North Carolina signalling they think Tillis will lose
ms liberty
(8,558 posts)In the first half, at one point there was at least four ads that ran consecutively. I don't know whether they were his campaign, the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee the super-pacs, or a combination of them; I wasn't watching the game closely...football's not really my thing, but mr liberty pointed it out to me using a few choice words, lol.

(490 posts)Dems pulled money out of Kentucky today leaving Grimes flappin' in the wind. Guess the White House wants the stupid turtle back.

(24,396 posts)that makes sense.
rpannier
(24,328 posts)He was interviewed on faux news and said that the Clinton Administration benefited from the 94 loses because it pushed out the Democratic tea partiers (i.e. progressives)
So obviously the Demorats losing is what the administration wants... or something to that effect
Proud Liberal Dem
(24,396 posts)However, even if that is true, is there anything more recent that proves that Obama wants Republicans to win? Is Alison Grimes considered a "Democratic Tea Partier"?

(24,328 posts)wants Democrats to lose the Senate
I was only commenting using the inane logic of Robert Rubin who went on fox news and spewed his 'it's not terrible if Dems lose' nonsense.
The interview was like 4 years ago I think.
I just remember it on crooksandliars

(24,328 posts)Someone else pointed out that the RSCC stopped funding the turtle back in September
Both organizations probably figured there was enough money they weren't needed and they may feel that the money can be better spent other ways in Kentucky as well
