  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell

For the first time in years, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is in a very vulnerable situation politically.  He has opposition from both sides of the aisle in the state of Kentucky.  Kentucky's Secretary of State, Allison Lundergan Grimes, is running against McConnell on the Democrat sides.  Louisville businessman Matt Bevin, is a political newcomer and running against McConnell on the Republican side.  The Democrats are trying to paint McConnell as the chief obstructionist in the U.S. Senate.  Grimes said if McConnell was told by doctor that he had a kidney stone, he'd refuse to pass it.  Bevin was critical of McConnell for undermining conservatives in compromising with the Democrats on illegal immigration and raising the debt ceiling, for example.  This will be a very interesting ratce.  To read the full story, click on the above link from FoxNews.com.
