Senate needs new Republican leadership

The Courier-Journal ran this editorial on Nov 8:
“The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president,” Mr. McConnell, the Senate minority leader and Kentucky’s senior senator, told The National Journal.

He has failed utterly, a stunning failure driven home by Mr. Obama’s decisive win Tuesday over Republican Mitt Romney. One of the country’s top Republicans and leader of Senate Republicans, Mr. McConnell has crashed and burned in the single most important goal he set for himself and his party.

...Mr. McConnell needs to get out of the way and let someone with a true vision for this country take over.
