Ronnie Ellis wrote this article yesterday following a conference call Senator McConnell and I had with Kentucky reporters.  Most of the questions focused on the Governor's race and Fancy Farm.  Ronnie correctly pointed out the attention that Senator McConnell gets from seemingly every left-wing radical group in the country by nature of his leadership position.  All these outside far left front groups would love to defeat Senator McConnell to take out the Republican Leader in the Senate.  As for me, I'm thrilled to be on board, and I look forward to taking the fight to them for the next 16 months.
