House?
This happens so much on Free Republic. You would think that by now everyone would be aware that there are two houses of Congress, and in the instance of high-profile races the FR commenter would know which Congressional seat is at issue, but, no, they're still out there, unaware.
Sometimes those “FR commenters” to whom you refer are not unaware at all, just prone to slips of the tongue — or, in this case, fingers. I know full well that McConnell is a Senator.
I am simply disgusted that FReepers who consider themselves patriotic Americans could be so sanctimonious as to endanger our very real chances of flipping the Senate from Democratic control in November.
