In the video, Grimes said, He (McConnell) can buy the airwaves, but we won’t back up.”

Clinton said, “Whatever your politics are. You deserve to be represented by somebody who cares more about you than the people who have gotten us in trouble in Washington in the first place.”

Bill Clinton is making one last stop in Kentucky to both support Alison Lundergan Grimes, and knockout Mitch McConnell. The schedule of Democrats who are campaigning with Grimes this week makes it clear that they smell blood in the water.

Grimes is getting the top three surrogates on the campaign trail, outside of the Obamas, this week. The President and First Lady won’t be coming to Kentucky because an appearance by the president would play into McConnell’s campaign strategy. Sen. McConnell has been desperately trying to link Grimes and Obama. For this reason, it’s best that the president stay out of this race.

Mitch McConnell is teetering on the brink of defeat, which is Bill Clinton is coming to Kentucky to help push him over the edge.
