McConnell in the "Fight of his Life"

In light of the diary yesterday regarding McConnell's recent poll numbers, I thought this story from The Hill was interesting:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is "facing the most difficult reelection campaign" of his career, or at least that’s what he’s telling his political supporters.

McConnell, who has yet to draw a major opponent, sent a fundraising letter characterizing his 2008 reelection bid as a battle against "radical national liberal organizations" and calling himself one of the top Democratic targets in the country.

The letter was posted this week to a blog dedicated to drafting another Republican, former gubernatorial nominee Larry Forgy, to run against him in a primary.

McConnell decried the efforts against him by Americans United for Change, an anti-war group that he said "is funded by big labor union bosses" and "has already spent six figures running attack ads against me for fighting terrorism."

    I found this while cruising with the Freepers. He's not getting much love from them for his support of the immigration bill. This may be the issue that keeps some of the 'Pubs home in 2008. SirJohnBarleycorn said this:

Takes a lot of gall to come whining to the base about what a tough election he’s got coming up, while at the same time he’s selling out the country.

Top dem target??? Why? Harry Reid has you in his back pocket.

Guess you might need some campaign cash, eh Senator? Don't you think the boys who you are carrying the water for on the immigration bill can hook you up? Sorry, but the rest of us are going to spend our money on candidates who will listen to us.
