    Is that hagel getting thrown out of the Republican Party?

    Never thought I’d look forward to Kruger Rand Paul being the senior senator from Kentucky, but there you go. Creationism can hurt.

    Uhm, on what is this based? I haven’t read anything about McConnell giving up the minority leadership. Oh, wait, just found it:

    The Republican tent is getting so small now that an arch-conservative old white man from the south can’t even keep a foothold in his party.

    We’ll see. Last year, the Tea Party tried to target Orrin Hatch ..and how did THAT work out?

    I think it’s a mistake for the Democrats to work on behalf of an “unelectable” radical right Republican — what if the “unelectable” becomes “electable”?

    He has, I think, a 90% conservative rating and that isn’t good enough so he will be primaried by the tea party. (with their 8% approval rating)

    The fact Mr. McConnall is being challenged for being too moderate is frustrating. I would love to see a true moderate challenge McConnall, from either party. However, I would hate to see him fall to someone even more…. conservative… yeah…that’s a ‘nice’ way to put it. I often refer to him, in conjunction with Reid, Boehnor, and Pelosi, as a monument to everything wrong in the legislature.
    Has Ms. Judd announced whether she’s running yet?

    In a recent poll, only 17% of Kentuckians said they were committed to vote for McConnell in 2014. The tea party is gunning for him, because he’s really conservative but not stupid enough conservative. He’s in trouble, and recently has been sending out paranoid, fact-free fund-raising letters about nonexistent Democratic gun confiscation. Looks like he may be toast, poor guy.

    The tea baggers are the bane of the republican party, so funny they want to get rid of Mitch McConnell. That’s okay if Ashley Judd runs then they’re going to lose that seat to a Democrat.

    This whole thing goes to show just how far the Tea-Party is detached from reality.

    Politics aside, Mitch McConnell may well be the craftiest parliamentarian in the Senate since LBJ. If not for him, the GOP wouldn’t have had half as much succes in blocking the Dem agenda as they’ve known.

    And the tea-baggers want to get rid of him because he doesn’t pass their ideologicall litmus test?!
    Okayyyy, but when Filibuster Reform gets through next time, they’ll have only themselves to blame.

    The link worked that time.
    Rachael Maddow’s show came in at #10.
    First time Fox didn’t have the top 13 highest rated shows.
    Better times are on the way.
