Midterm Election, Where are They Now?

Back in October, I followed the Kentucky Midterm Election and discovered the good, the bad, and the ugly of the process. Because Senator Mitchell McConnell was a part of the senate since 1985 and was the Minority chair leader, Kentucky was a go for him to continue his legacy. No one gave a second look at democratic candidate Alison Grimes. But then she started giving the Kentuckians something to look at, some thanks to the Clintons. Kentucky was a primarily Republican state, McConnell tried to get Kentucky to believe that Grimes shared a lot of the same views as Obama. Some TV ads were even throwing shade to one another, some very harsh on McConnell's part.

There was so little faith in Grimes that even the Democratic Party decided to pull their money out of the race. But that didn't stop Grimes from taking the lead. Grimes maintained the lead for a while, but people weren't too keen of change, so the votes for McConnell started rolling in. It was a neck and neck race, no one was entirely sure who would win; the rookie or the veteran. Unfortunately, the vet took the lead because of his years of experience. This made the Senate, primarily Republican, with a Democratic President. Kentuckians were content with their choice. Grimes, a little upset, wasn't deterred from what she want to do. She is now making plans to take another area in office. She has not announced which office she will seek, but she does plan to seek office. Although, I didn't really care who won this election, I do think that Grimes would've been a better choice because she does have that drive and determination needed for the senate filled with Republicans and a country led by a democrat.
