Note to Mitch: Voters reject obstructionism

This editorial ran in the Herald-Leader on Nov 8:

(Mitch McConnell) signaled his intent to keep obstructing Obama unless the newly re-elected president moves to the "political center."

Obama just received more than 60 million votes and scored a 303-206 victory in the electoral college (pre-Florida), which raises obvious questions: Where does McConnell think the political center is? Isn't that what elections tell us?

If ever the Senate Republican leader should show some humility, it's now. Not only did McConnell fail to achieve his publicly stated "single most important" goal of making Obama a one-term president, he also presided over a loss of Republican seats in the Senate.
