    Cool 3,000 Flock To See Bill Clinton and Alison Grimes While McConnell Rally Draws Cricket

    Momentum is definitely not on the side of Mitch McConnell. While Alison Lundergan Grimes and Bill Clinton drew a crowd of 3,000, the majority of attendees at Mitch McConnell’s rally were campaign staffers.

    It was a tale of two tweets.

    The Grimes rally in Owensboro, KY:

    This was the scene at McConnell’s rally:

    McConnell’s struggles to draw a crowd are nothing new. It is why the Republican Party is bribing people to pretend to support McConnell during his bus tour.

    The Hill reported,

    In an email sent earlier this month and obtained by The Hill, Taylor Bumgardner, a Kentucky Republican Party regional political director, offers volunteers the opportunity to join McConnell on his tour, which launched Monday. Meals, lodging and transportation are included in the trip.

    “Senator McConnell is seeking volunteers to join him on a 3-day campaign bus tour around the state on October 20-22 to show our support for Kentucky coal. You would join local supporters in contributing to an enthusiastic atmosphere at each of his events,” she wrote.


    The mainstream media are saying that Grimes is the candidate who is running a bad campaign, but she isn’t the candidate who has to pay people to be her friend. Anytime a campaign has to start busing in and paying supporters to be there, it is a sign of a campaign that lacks support.

    It is even worse, when a campaign has to bribe the supporters to show up. Alison Grimes is attracting thousands of people to her rallies while Mitch McConnell crowds are made up of people on his payroll.

    This contrast makes it easy to spot who is running a bad campaign and here’s a hint for the mainstream press. It isn’t Alison Lundergan Grimes.

    Mitch McConnell knows enthusiasm isn't free!



    It was one of the great unanswered questions of the 2014 campaign: How in the world would the uninspiring Mitch McConnell build "enthusiastic" crowds to bring his campaign across the finish line?


    Now we know the answer—with a checkbook.
    McConnell will pay expenses in return for 'enthusiasm' at events

    The Kentucky Republican Party is offering volunteers all-expenses-paid trips to join Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) campaign bus tour and "contribute to an enthusiastic atmosphere" at his events.
    In exchange for transportation, meals, and lodging, the state GOP expects the lucky few chosen for the ride to "join local supporters in contributing to an enthusiastic atmosphere at each of his events."
