No, You Don't Have to Vote for Grimes in the Primary

There is a liberal alternative, as Zandar reminds us:

And that's Ed Marksberry, who at least is a liberal Democrat and not, well, Alison Lundergan Grimes.

Unfortunately when Ed ran against Republican Brett Guthrie in KY-2 in 2010, he got stomped by 35 points.  He's a huge long shot against Grimes and an even bigger one against Mitch.  But actual liberals in Kentucky do exist.

They just don't have any support from the Ky Dem Party.  Especially when their candidate is the daughter of the former long-time party boss.

I know I've said I'd support Grimes over McConnell, but that's because I know Marksberry hasn't a shot in hell at winning.  And that's too bad.
But for all us liberals who constantly bitch about the lack of liberal primary challengers to party-chosen conservadems, this time we have an opportunity to put our money and our time where our mouths are.
