Grimes, Davis, and the Great Democratic Rural Hopes
It is the time of year when leaves fall from the trees and races fall from the national committee's priorities list.
Republicans went through their sad moment a few days ago when the National Republican Senatorial Committee pulled their ads from Michigan, an ominous indicator for former Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land. If the NRSC is going to spend an additional $6 million trying to help Thom Tillis in North Carolina, those resources have to come from somewhere.
Now the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is pulling the plug on its television ads in Kentucky, to help Allison Lundergan Grimes: "The DSCC had not reserved time for the final three weeks of the race and, as of today, is no longer on the air."
Grimes follows a long and not-so-proud tradition of Democratic candidates running in traditionally red states who were heralded by the national media as signs of a changing era, helping usher in an era of a permanent Democratic majority. Call them the Great Democratic Rural Hopes. The national media loves to write these sorts of stories. They're usually pictured on a farm or at a state fair. The headline is some variation of, "You may think that [insert Southern or Midwestern state here] is Republican territory. [Insert candidate name here] is about to prove you wrong."
If they're not managed by "Mudcat" Saunders, they've at least read his book...Also read:
