While Bevin avoided attacking his opponent and defending himself, former rival and current U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell picked up the slack.Bevin is a weak candidate and a poor campaigner, and he's damned lucky McConnell is on his side this time."I don't really think it's all that complicated," McConnell said. "If you want a candidate with better ideas, vote for Matt Bevin. If you want the candidate with better hair, vote for Jack Conway."McConnell said that Conway wasn't fooling anyone by traveling around the state pretending to be John Wayne."The only John you remind people of is John Edwards, minus the authenticity," McConnell said.
Agreed. Too bad about Bevin, because his positions seem what I would otherwise support. But he and his supporters!! such jackasses! That chant, “we are Kentucky” is so dang Hitleresque! And, he intended for the Pledge of Allegiance to provoke his imaginary Kentuckians-who-support-the-Confederate-flag. So condescending and patronizing.
