Amy McGrath = Lundergan Grimes 2.0 ??

[Fuzzy Bear]

ALG lost by as much as she did because she's an idiot.  She refused to say who she voted for in 2012, and said she was a Hillary Clinton Democrat (which, in retrospect, was probably worse than saying "I voted for Obama!".) 

A Democrat can win in Kentucky if (A) they reject the social liberalism that has become something of a litmus test for Democrats, and (B) endorse the ECONOMIC agenda of the New Deal and the Fair Deal.  This would require an intense "retail politics" approach where a candidate made scads of personal appearances, discussed their agenda, attempted to educate people, and did the hard work of convincing Kentuckians that they are actually right on issues.

ALG was unwilling to do that.  She was trying to pretend she was something she was not and that generally falls apart before Election Day.
