Mitch McConnell is Poison

How Toxic is Mitch McConnell? FreedomWorks flips in Neb. Senate race “ In a major blow to former Republican state Treasurer Shane Osborn’s candidacy for Nebraska Senate, national conservative group FreedomWorks is withdrawing its endorsement and backing his main primary rival, Midland University President Ben Sasse, instead. At issue, FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe said in a statement, is the unspoken support Osborn is believed to have from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Sasse now has the backing of nearly all the major national conservative groups, including the Club for Growth and Senate Conservatives Fund. He's also drawn the support of conservative leaders ranging from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) to Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).  [The HILL] Great on several levels.  Candidate relegated to the trash heap because he is suspected of being supported by his party's Senate Minority Leader.  How's that for sending a message to the GOP?  Precious. ”
