Which Alien did Mitch McConnell play in the Buckaroo Banzai movie ?

Just out of curiosity, how long has Kentucky businessman Matt Bevin been from Kentucky?

Is he a local boy, born and raised? Did he go to school there and realized he found his home and stayed? Something else?

Are there reasons why Kentuckians should see him as being one of them and worthy of representing them and their interests, rather than those of outside interests?

Tea party groups in Kentucky have finally united behind one candidate.

Maybe they are learning.

The 'conservatives'/Tea party groups will need to do the same early on in the 2016 election cycle, if they have any chance at derailing the GOPelite preference(s).

The GOPe has several who may be contending and could split the 'moderate' vote: Jeb Bush v Marco Rubio v Chris Christie v Paul Ryan + several 2012 retreads.

2016 might have a good spring -- could become known as The Crash of the of Big-name Bandwagons.

The 'conservatives'/Tea party groups do, however, need to settle on a couple of solid names and not pick from the list of washed up wannabes just because they claim to be conservatives or tea party supporters.

Hopefully, the 'conservatives'/Tea party groups learned from 2008 and 2012.

And our Pretend conservative, Rand Paul, is backing the NON-Tea Party Incumbant GOP-E candidate Mitch McConnell.

Hey Kentucky, get behind this effort and restore some lost confidence that you folks actually have some brains!

Vote McConnell because nothing captures the independent spirit of Kentucky Bluegrass like a 78 year old chinless weasel.

Tea party groups in Kentucky have finally united behind one candidate. Kentucky businessman Matt Bevin today is declaring a primary challenge to Mitch McConnell. He’s going after McConnell’s record in the Senate. Having talked to a number of tea party groups in Kentucky, they are pretty united around this challenge for now.

If Bevin succeeds in defeating McConnell in the primary, we conservatives need to learn a lesson for 2016 early - settle on one conservative candidate early and end the circular firing squads. It's how McCain and Romney won the nomination in 2008 and 2012.

Can the moderator put this in the breaking news sidebar?

Mcconnell has been a diaster as senate minority leader.
Ousting him would be great.
