I’m not a Mitch McConnell fan, but we sure didn’t need to lose this seat to a Marxist Democrat.

I'm no fan of McConnell but over the last few months it became obvious to me why he's had such a long career in politics. For all his flaws, he sure knows how to run a winning campaign. He pretty much sealed his victory some weeks ago in a debate against Grimes when he laid out the best one-line campaign statement of the year:

"How can my opponent claim to be running as a candidate for change when her first act in office would be to re-elect Harry Reid as the Senate majority leader?"

The GOP campaign theme this year really ended up being this simple.

The only good thing is that it gets rid of Harry Reid, that alone is worth the price of admission.

Mitch in the majority will be a different animal. You can only do so much in the minority. I say give the guy a chance.

Mitch wants to CRUSH the Tea Party. I loathe the guy. He could have done much more.

It’s just sick this old fart can continue to be re-elected when he’s this far gone.

Yeah, he’ll have a much easier time smearing, backstabbing and destroying conservatives.

Anyone who has paid any attention should know EXACTLY what the GOPe is all about!
