Filibuster Bluster

Man, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in Mitch McConnell’s HQ on Election Night.

I have a vision of McConnell summoning Harry Reid and DNC chief Amy Dacey to his office and informing them that he’d just taken out Alison Lundergan Grimes — beneficiary of outsized media attention and support from national Democrats — by 15 points in a race that was called before the voting machines in Bowling Green had cooled to the touch. I imagine McConnell flatly telling Reid that he’d also had the National Republican Senatorial Committee take out Mark Pryor, Kay Hagan, and Mark Udall.
