Senator Mitch McConnell Upbeat About GOP Chances
KENTUCKY....
While Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell campaigned with Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul at a rally in Murray in western Kentucky Thursday, he told a crowd of about 175 that Republicans are competitive nationally in 12 races for Senate seats now held by Democrats. McConnell says a backlash against President Barack Obama's policies will spur a strong GOP showing next month, but he's stopping short of predicting his party will take control of the Senate. McConnell also says he's confident he'll lead a larger GOP Senate caucus next year, but Republicans need to guard against overconfidence.
