Mitch McConnell is Poison



How Toxic is Mitch McConnell?

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.

Send a couple bucks to the Tea Party's Matt Bevin, "Mitch's" Republican primary opponent this May. I get emails from both campaigns, and "Mitch" is lying through his teeth, saying he is beating Tea Party candidate Bevin something like 59% to 27% in polls. I believe it's more like Bevin leading him by a few points, and polls are also showing "Mitch" would lose to his Dem opponent in the general election by ~4%, while Bevin beats the Dem by 4%.

All you really need to know about a candidate, is if one of the Dead Elephant leaders is backing him/her, or their opponent.

Where I have problems, is when Obummer is backing one, and the Dead Elephants are backing the other. Then what? Hold my nose, or drown myself?
