He has been there to long.
Bingo! The Republican Party is in a pretty bad state right now & when you're one of the leaders - the buck stops right at you.
McConnell has been the head of the Republicans in the Senate for too long? He took over in January 2007 from Frist. 18 months is too long?
Good grief.
McConnell has been the only Republican Senate leader to seriously fight against the Democrats since Bob Dole. Lott and Frist certainly lowered the bar, but McConnell has done a good job of fighting off Reid and the press.
