After a year of insisting that they could unseat Mitch McConnell, today the Democrat Senate Campaign Committee announced they were pulling all ads from the Kentucky race and not spending any more money there.
Quote:
That decision effectively leaves Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes on her own and is rightly read as a sign that national Democrats believe the race is effectively over.
I'm surprised Soros and the rest of the big moneyed Democrat power brokers couldn't come up with some money to defeat McConnell. Must be worse for Democrats than we thought.

As we get closer to Election Day, those from each side cut back on where they are spending. The NRSC recently pulled their spending in Michigan, which was one of the states they were targeting previously
It doesn't necessarily mean the DSCC has given up on Grimes at all.
As the last paragraph of the article you linked said: (I'm paraphrasing) Now that the Georgia race is going the right way, and is within the planned margins and trend lines, now is the time to put money into other states were the races are neck to neck.
It's as possible that Grimes has enough now to carry the last weeks on her own funding. Candidate donations are very often held in reserve until late in the game.
The NRSC does exactly the same thing. It's just good politics to put the last-minute money into races where the money will do the most good.
The guys holding the checkbooks are not looking for symbolic wins. They want much more tangible results. If Mitch looks like he's going to be a runaway winner, he's not going to get any party money either in the last days of the campaign.
Democrats appear to have given up on defeating Mitch McConnell. I always liked McConnell. He is one of those guys who seems to be hated by both sides, proving that he is doing something right.
His former aide Rohit Kumar was one of the most brilliant to have served the country
Ms. Grimes did herself no favors by not answering the obvious question whether she voted for Pres. Obama. I don't care what political party you are a member, you make yourself a laughing stock if you hem and haw over a question that everyone knows the answer to. Just come out with it and move on. It all is politics 101.

Yeah, that was the latest in a long line of really bad gaffes by Democrats this cycle. I am confident there will be more before Election Day.
So, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, John Lewis, Chas Dingell, James Clyburn, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Shelia Jackson Lee, Charlie Rangel, ad infinitum. Need I say more.

Democrats throw in the towel in Kentucky.
