McConnell Focused On Sixth Term

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has banked another $1 million, pushing his campaign bank account to more than $6 million for an election that's still more than two years away. Democrats are certain to target McConnell in 2014, just as they did in 2008 when he won re-election to a fifth term and gained the distinction of being Kentucky's longest serving senator, but McConnell is bent on winning a sixth term. He spent some $20 million on the last election and won by 6 percentage points. Chief of Staff Josh Holmes says McConnell has more than double what he had at this point in his last re-election campaign.
