FLORENCE, Ky. (AP) — The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee suddenly stopped running TV ads in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race, a severe blow to Alison Lundergan Grimes in her challenge to Republican leader Mitch McConnell. The committee's decision in Kentucky was in strong contrast to its activities in other states with pivotal Senate races. Democrats continued to spend freely in Iowa, Georgia, North Carolina and several other states as they tried to blunt a Republican drive to gain a Senate majority in midterm elections. Grimes was heavily recruited by Democrats to challenge McConnell, but her support by Democrats eroded after she recently declined to say if she voted for Obama or not in 2008 and 2012.
