Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell's reward for his deal with Democrats to lift the default threat: a burst of oxygen for his tea party primary challenger.

That would be Matt Bevin, a 46-year-old investment executive who has aligned himself with Sen. Ted Cruz's challenge to Obamacare. Bevin dismisses warnings from Wall Street and elsewhere about a default, as well as polls showing that the shutdown was a disaster for the Republican Party.

Maybe I didn't read closely enough, however, is Bevin running within the GOP as a primary opponent?

Or is he doing a Crazy Ivan independent run in the general?

I would strongly support the former, and strongly oppose the latter.

So McConnell, who has vowed to build the greatest
U.S. Senate campaign ever, can't afford to ignore
You bet yah; his "campaign" is (helpfully :) financed by..
nationwide donors, not his in-state Tax-laden constituents..
much like his 'RAT opponent
