The most laughable spin ever

I've honestly never seen supporters of a candidate gloat about being 25 points down in a poll with only 20 days until an election. I'm not sure whether to laugh or feel sorry for them. It's like they are Greg Fischer's Tinkerbell constituency: just clap louder and everything will be OK.

What's not funny is that Fischer's folks are actually believing their own hype in order to justify starting Mitch McConnell's attack Vencor ads for him. For all this talk about Lunsford's "baggage", the only relevance I can see is that Fischer is serving as Mitch McConnell's bellboy, doing all of Mitch's heavy lifting for him. Once more, pointing out the Fletcher endorsement and claiming he's too far to the right are fair game; beating on Vencor is simply Mini-Mitch mudslinging.

And I love this ridiculous theory about how Lunsford will inevitably fail at the end of the campaign. The last time I checked, Jonathan Miller wasn't in this race about to drop out and hand over a significant % to Fischer. And the last time I checked, criminal Steve Henry isn't in the race imploding with supporters going to Fischer. Looking at this objectively, there's absolutely no comparison between this year and last year.

Want more proof? 80% of voters say they have already made up their mind, with only 20% saying they might change their mind. It's simple math.

(There also seems to be little discussion of Fischer's internal poll from two months ago showing the race 39%-22% for Lunsford. Does this mean that Fischer has dropped 8 points in the past 2 months???)

You may not like it (as I don't), but Bruce Lunsford is in all likelihood our nominee, and it's time to close ranks behind him if he wins this primary so we can Ditch Mitch. Every time Fischer makes this low blow, Mitch McConnell is sitting back and laughing. It's like Greg Fischer's campaign is being run by Hunter Bates. It's sick.

So to all the Fischer supporters: I have no beef with you, but once this primary is over, if Bruce is our nominee, we have to let bygones be bygones and focus on Mitch.

Remember, when Greg Fischer makes statements like this:

"...replacing Mitch McConnell with Bruce Lunsford is no change at all"

...he is simply deceiving you. He's insulting your intelligence. We may not love (or even like) Bruce, but he is NOT Mitch McConnell. Not even close. Not in the same ballpark. Our state and our country can't afford to let grudges stand in the way of ridding us of Mitch once and for all. (looking at you, Crazy Shark)

(P.S.- since when is Greg Fischer the candidate of the KY Netroots? I know of only one pro-Fischer website. Odd...)
