Ashley Judd may run against him. Make him squirm every day starting now.

Considering that his home state is heavily conservative and that his obstructionist stances will definitely appease the republicans of Kentucky.

But while the rest of the country saw some great Democratic victories, Kentucky seems to be turning redder by the day (except for Louisville, of course). We lost a Dem congressman, Ben Chandler, and the baggers have taken over most of the state outside of Jefferson County, especially in Northern KY.

And yet we have a Democratic Governor, Steve Beshear, who previously ran against McConnell and lost.

Sigh.

Hey Mitch,

It is time to start working, you know, like statesman do. For the good of the country. Your constant obstructionism backfired. Your job is not to make the president a 1 term president -- no one elected in congress -- has that job. You are suppose to work with fellow senators, congressmen, and the president no matter what party. Do the right thing Mitch, for the good of the country.
