McConnell's campaign manager "holding his nose" re: Rand Paul

U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell’s campaign manager, Jesse Benton, told a confidant that he is “holding my nose” as he runs the Senate minority leader’s re-election campaign — all to help U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, according to a phone recording.

“Between you and me I’m sort of holding my nose for two years, because what we're doing here is going to be a big benefit for Rand in 2016,” according to the recorded conversation given to the blog EconomicPolicyJournal.com by former Ron Paul aide Dennis Fusaro. “That's my long vision.”
