Thank you for unlocking the Rand Paul mystery for me. I had no idea why he has polled so abysmally. I had forgotten about the McConnell endorsement. I recall, now that you mention it, thinking at the time that Paul was a GOPe hack after all. Afterward, never having been a Paul fan, I forgot it even happened.
Well if only Boehner loses his speakership, that will still be a yuge improvement. Nevertheless I hope McConnell goes down too. He declared outright war on the TEA party, you may remember. Be nice if his turncoat chickens finally came home to roost.
