Mcconnell in a very tight race of his own but not without first giving us a piece of his mind. The man who just could be the next Senate Majority leader if things go his way. First the top gop fundraiser, on the new jersey governor for whom nothing seems to be going his way. What happened . Oh, my gosh. This is just like a disaster waiting to happen. Like a ticking time bomb. But hes compounding it. Well, a lot of people are used to his smashmouth talk of politics but right now he needs to be making up for that. Its not going to ring well, especially with him looking at 2016. Although he is the chairman of the Republican Governors Association doesnt scott walker know that and that has him wincing a little bit. But are we being fair here .
