They are also putting up an ad on the airwaves they already aired back up in Kentucky. Including the DSCC ad and the Americans United one, there are three ads up slamming Grandma Mitch right now in Kentucky.

His boy Fletcher just suffered an electoral battering in the governor's race and McConnell was just busted for inserting pork into a bill to benefit a British defense contractor who his former chief of staff lobbies for (and the company is under investigation for bribery). He also used Alben Barkley II in a campaign commercial, a famous Kentucky Democrat (well, at least his dad was) who also happens to be infamous for being a sexual harasser (oops on the vetting).

Oh, and polls show that two different potential opponents, the AG and State Auditor in Kentucky would begin this campaign cycle almost within the margin of error of Mitch's numbers. But before he takes them on, he may get an Independent challenge, funded by the Club For Growth, from a right-wing Republican in Kentucky who has run statewide before and has been constantly attacking him for abandoning Governor Fletcher and conservative principles.

All in all, not a great couple of weeks for the corporatized, right-wing hack.
