Not necessarily good. The Kentucky Governor picks who is next and the Kentucky Governor is a Democrat. No matter what you think of his choice, ‘he’s a conservative or middle of the road’ dem the dems vote en bloc.
Even if McConnell stays in rehab for the rest of his term, he remains a Senator...................
Yes and no. I believe in KY the McConnell's local party (Republican) nominates a handful of candidates and the governor has to pick from those. I'm sure the Dim governor will pick the most GOPe of the nominees. So the question is if the state Republicans will give him only Rand Paul type candidates to choose from, or give him at least one McTurtle type candidate to choose.
The Kentucky Governor must pick a member of the GOP. I hope Mitch is toast.
