I heard the comment from Alison Lundergan Grimes stating she speaks for herself that Kentucky is her focus. She is correct.
Her father is Governor and I am confident that was a hurdle for her to overcome. The US Senate is a different place than the Governor of Kentucky. But, she had to make it clear she is able to carry the responsibilities by herself for Kentucky.
When she states she is focused on Kentucky that is very important. The recovery from the global economic collapse was first begun in small business. There were the first to overcome the Great Recession. They were recovered before Wall Street businesses recovered.
The USA has become a success for small businesses. The Small Business Administration was given support following the Recovery Act to help them recover because banks weren't lending to them. So, today going forward there is going to be a stronger 'local economy' focus that candidates like Alison Lundergan Grimes. These small businesses are becoming a powerful in every economy across the country. They are going to have to be understood, appreciated and without problems to success.
The days of making Wall Street happy in order to win because they employ so many Americans is an ancient era today. There are manufacturing of automobiles and other large scale industries that should be important to Democrats to protect, but, right along side of those major employers are the small business people. Evidently, she understands there has been a shift in economic strength that she is proud to include in her focus in Washington, DC.

...Democrats rightly express pride (click here) when they out-raise their corporate-friendly Republican opponents. After all, we’re the Party of the Individual – the little guy, the downtrodden facing the rapacious behemoth. We are all, in some way, Alison Lundergan Grimes facing Mitch McConnell and the corporate money machine.

But Bloomberg Politics is reporting that “record Wall Street money flows to Republicans.” Max Abelson at Bloomberg reported on October 31 that, “The $169 million from donors in the securities and investment industry is the most they’ve ever contributed in a midterm election, according to Center for Responsive Politics data.”...
And why is Wall Street so interested in Mr. McConnell?
From Bloomberg News:
October 31, 2014
...The industry’s biggest donor was Paul Singer’s hedge fund Elliott Management, with $12.1 million. Among top givers were employees from Ken Griffin’s Citadel LLC, Soros Fund Management LLC and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Wall Street’s lead over retirees, lawyers and other groups grows wider when commercial banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co. are added.
After giving more to Democrats in 2006 and 2008, securities and investment donors switched allegiance in 2010, when President Barack Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Act’s financial regulations into law....
Corruption. Wall Street is buying INFLUENCE from Mr. McConnell.
When Democrats run for office, it looks more and more like a return of our democracy every election. Before too much longer Washington is actually going to have to put the people first.
The elections are taking on more of a fight for the country. It is the people against the plutocrats. Just look at Colorado, it finally won the fight for the right to grow and sell marijuana. It is working out to be the best thing that every happened to them. That is exactly what this is. It is why the Republicans are still alive as a party. They have the backing of plutocrats and the Democrats are more importantly supported by the people.
