McConnells comments strike me as a campaign to win his leadership
post, not win an election in KY. His comments seem directed at his
GOP fellow senators.
Could be. But Grimes is also hitting McConnell hard on being an obstructionist. She wouldnt be doing that if she didnt have numbers showing it as an effective line of attack, and McConnell’s campaign might be seeing some softness in his numbers there as well.
Not the approach I’d take. McConnell would be better off pointing out the inherent contradictions in Grimes’ opposition to obstruction and support for coal and gun rights; obstructionism by the GOP is the ONLY thing preventing Obama from dismantling the coal industry and stealing away gun rights.
