They are smelling a likely Tea Part challenge against McConnell and think they might be able to beat a divided Republican party. They are probably right on both counts. I’d still vote Tea Party though. We have to stop letting the need for unity force us to cave in to the old guard. They need to start yielding to us instead.
You'd probably be voting for someone supported by the Dems then.
They've already said they're going to give lots of money to the McConnell primary challenger.
I’m a voter in Kentucky and I can vouch for your statement. A lot of conservatives are tired of Milktoast Mitch and Democrats know it. She could actually pull this off, unfortunately.
