To fend off a possible challenge by a candidate backed by the conservative Tea Party movement, McConnell hired Jesse Benton as his campaign manager - a political strategist with Tea Party ties.

"McConnell will be in the middle of a battle for the heart of the party," said James Thurber of American University's Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies. "The Republican Party is shifting to the right under his feet. He may not survive."

Asked whether he would support McConnell for minority leader this week when Congress returns for its post-election session, conservative Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson said, "I'm going to wait to hear what everyone has to say when we get back on Tuesday."

He added, "I want to see a really well-thought-out strategy about how we are going to be handling the next two years," both legislatively and politically.

1. I hope the TeaParty Monster he helped create...

truly devours him for his UTTER FAILURE to "make Obama a one-term President." I hope deeply that the loons make him PAY for that misjudgement. How much fun would it be to watch the idiots over there doing our own "dirty work" FOR us?

2. Senator Dumbass Johnson wouldn't know a "really well-ll thought out strategy"

if it hit him in the face.

3. He's a big loser, no matter what the day

and the sooner he's out of power, the better for the country.

4. Hmmmm, let me see; another teabagger or

Ashley Judd?

Run Ashley, run!
