Are you aware that McConnell funneled money into Haley Barbour's group to pay for those racist attack ads? How is it that Cochran need to go but not McConnell?
I can confirm that the attack ads in Mississippi run by “All Citizens for Mississippi” were funded by Senate Republicans, including Senators Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker, and Roy Blunt. It appears our Senate Republican leaders are willing to risk losing a Senate majority so long as they can get their own re-elected. Yes folks, it is true. I can confirm what we all suspected.
It’s about picking a single target that can be focused on in a very narrow manner in order to send a message.
Going after multiple concurrent targets is much harder, as the focus of the effort will be distributed and dispersed. The increased risk of failure generally isn’t worth it, especially since it introduces the possibility of a 1 to 1 result, even allowing the win to be dismissed given the loss.
Better to win big in a single contest scenario than to split or lose in a dual one.
Again, speaking purely from the standpoint of pragmatic political action.
