I just heard Fred Barnes says on Fox News that McConnell had already secured the votes to succeed Frist as majority leader.

I like Mitch McConnell a lot, and I think he will be a much more effective leader than Frist, and hopefully will lead the 110th Congress with more conservative Republicans.

The Curious-Urinal has a ton of graphics on their web pages, most of it ads. Bypass all that with this printer friendly link.

He'd be a huge improvement. Frist has been a disappointment in letting himself get rolled time and again by the DemocRats and their kissin' cousins McCain, Specter et fils. Why bother having a majority if you're going to act like Dobby the cringing house-elf?

[Joe Boucher]

Howdy doody couldn't be any less effective then Frist what with his majority.

[TomGuy]

So, all of Trent Lott's backroom backstabbing and wheeling and dealing were in vain.


lol.

Lott thought he could regain his former position.

[k2blader]

Hrm, McConnell, would be a definite improvement.

[Skeeve14]

Where is Frist going? President? HAHAHA

[Wilhelm Tell]

It can't happen soon enough. We can't afford all of these Republican "leaders" who are busy back-stabbing each other while at the same time they roll over and play dead for the Democrats.

[Soul Seeker]

Good. I want Lott nowhere near the position.

[KeyWest]

He would be great. Nice country boy mannerism and look with cold steel underneath. Good combo. Frist is just too nice and trusting. McConnel knows where the dems knives are. Frist could only locate them when they were in his back.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

FINALLY! A Senate GOP leader with brass ones!

[veronica]

Excellent news. Mitch McConnell kicks butt.

Harry Reid must be wetting his pants.

Hopefully, this will push Swimmer Ted over the edge and drown himself in Dewars

[Non-Sequitur]

Don't any conservative Republicans want the job?

[ChildOfThe60s]

Don't any conservative Republicans want the job?

I suspect the party powers do not want a genuine conservative in the position. Afraid the MSM would brand him "too partisan".

[Non-Sequitur]

FINALLY! A Senate GOP leader with brass ones!

Brass what? His record on immigration is abysmal. His record in reducing spending and shrinking the size of government is even worse. His sole interest seems to be in fund raising. How about Roberts of Kansas or Santorum of Pennsylvania or even Craig or Crapo of Idaho? Any one of them is far more conservative than McConnell.

[TN4Liberty]

Frist committed on his first campaign to term-limit himself to two terms. I think his current term expires in -06.

[Jackknife]

He'd be a huge hugh improvement.

There ...... fixed it. (heehee)

I agree with you. He'd hopefully be a stronger leader than Frist.

[river rat]

My 7 year old Granddaughter would be a stronger leader than Frist......but I'm not overly thrilled with McConnell....

The question of what he's carrying in his scrotum is brass or silver coins -- remains to be seen..

Semper Fi

[Eagle Eye]

And he's married to Elaine Chow who is on a first name basis with the Chicom leadership.

It should make our subjugation to the Chinese less painless.
