Title: Is McConnell Abandoning Senate Win to Keep Control as Minority Leader?
Post by: Number7 on September 22, 2022, 05:49:01 AM
The top elected Republican in the country, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is abandoning the competitive Arizona Senate race — and potentially a Senate majority — to maintain a conference he can control in the upper chamber.

Who needs liberals when you have a demented HACK like mitchie?

On Tuesday, Axios reported that McConnell’s super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF), is pulling another $9.6 million in television ads from the Arizona contest where Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters remains locked in a tight effort to unseat Democrat incumbent Mark Kelly.

“The cancellations mean that the GOP’s leading super PAC won’t be spending any money in Arizona, one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country,” Axios reported, adding that McConnell’s allies are “confident other outside conservative groups will make up much of the difference.”

The $7.5 million tally from outside groups compiled by Axios, however, is far from making up “much of the difference” where Masters is outspent by Kelly upwards of 9 to 1, according to campaign finance data from OpenSecrets. And hosting a fundraiser for Masters, as McConnell has planned in lieu of direct financing, is mere lip service to claim the Republican Senate leader still supports the party’s Arizona nominee.

The reality is that McConnell would rather run a Senate minority that’s beholden to the octogenarian lawmaker than a majority with solid Republicans who refuse to kiss the ring.

Yabbut studies show that races aren’t won by who spends more money, but rather by who has more appeal.  Not counting cheating of course.  It’s AZ.  Have they fixed their problem?
