Anne Northup would have never won an election in that district without the work McConnell did there. It's a miracle she was there for four terms. She was the first Republican ever to hold the seat, which includes all of the city of Louisville.

In 1978, Republicans in Kentucky were having meetings in phone booths. I should know, I was the state College Republican chairman then. We held NO statewide offices, NO Senate seats, ONE House seat, and only 8 of 46 seats in the State Senate. Today, thanks to Mitch McConnell, Republicans hold BOTH U.S. Senate seats, 4 of 6 House seats, the Governorship, and the majority in the state Senate. Democrats tried to knock off three House members in Kentucky, poured millions into the state and they only got one by less than 6000 votes. And this is after a major scandal involving the Republican Governor and his approval rating being at about 20%. THAT is superior campaign performance.

Do you think Fletcher will not run again in 2007? Shouldn't he be defeated in a primary to have any hope of holding on to the governorship? Will Ben Chandler run again for governor? Why do you think "Ms." Northup lost? Yes, I know that McConnell has had more success in KY than many other Republican leaders in other states. Look at how bad the GOP is faring now in MT and CO.
