Comments on: McConnell declines to offer support for Ensign’s re-election campaign. http://thinkprogress.org/2009/07/14/mcconnell-ensign/ Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:15:26 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: blood1 http://thinkprogress.org/2009/07/14/mcconnell-ensign/comment-page-1/#comment-5726944 blood1 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:59:57 +0000 http://thinkprogress.org/?p=50728#comment-5726944 The real question is: Will all his "senatorial" supporters be linked to him thru their affiliation with the C Street Family address? The "little known" religious group may have deep pockets, but Ensign may have trouble hiding the origin of campaign donations. Now that the public knows about this group and at least some of the members, "follow the money" will be quite agressive when looking at his campaign contributions. I don't think mom and dad can bail him out of this entire mess! The real question is: Will all his “senatorial” supporters be linked to him thru their affiliation with the C Street Family address?

He will wait to see which way the wind blows and that is 3 years away. McConnell isn’t going to say anything that might come back to him in his reelection.

Yes, indeed, quietly supporting, while franticly searching for a really quick replacement who doesn’t appear to be a complete dolt and a adolescent with uncontrollable surges of happy time hormones…

You know damn well these rethuglicans would support Adolph Hitler as a senator if he were a republican. I'm sure behind the scenes McConnell and the rest of the republican party are quietly supporting one of their own.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, either. Now if Senator Graham could be convinced to go forth and do likewise for Governor Sanford, we'd be makin' some progress... small steps, but forward.
