For all his flaws, Mitch McConnell has done exactly what you've listed for #1 in his Kentucky race, and has been very effective at it. He has actually crafted himself as the "refreshing candidate for change" against a 35 year-old woman by hammering on one key point:

"How can my opponent call herself a force for change in Washington when the first thing she'll do as a Senator is vote to re-elect Harry Reid as the Senate majority leader?"

How can McConnell position himself as such when McConnell himself said the first thing he will do is EMPOWER Harry Reid and the Democrats with reverting the filibuster rule to hand them what was taken away from the Republicans?

What's the difference between voting FOR Reid, and empowering Reid via stealth and subterfuge while playing 'opposition leader' for the cameras?
