LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell's re-election
campaign says he raised more than $3 million in campaign
contributions in the second-quarter of 2008.

McConnell's campaign manager Justin Brasell said it is a record
amount for quarterly fundraising in Kentucky and will be filed with
the Federal Election Commission on July 15.

McConnell is the Senate's top Republican leader. He faces a
challenge from Democrat and businessman Bruce Lunsford in the fall.
Actor Sonny Landham is running under the banner of the Libertarian
Party.

The McConnell Senate Committee reported raising over $850,000
during April and more than $2.16 million in May and June to close
out the quarter.

Lunsford's campaign did not immediately return a message seeking
comment. Landham's campaign did not immediately return an e-mail
message.

Time to rid Ky of this bush clone,and maybe his wife who is the U.S.Sec.of Labor.Between the both of them the mine laws have been so lax that mine owners have gave $2,000,000. to Mitch's reelection fund,which under Ky.law is his to keep if he loses reelection.Remember this is the same guy who voted 3 times against the bill to insure Ky school children saying as an excuse "someone might lie and get coverage" also how about the only bill he wrote in last 5 years,$30,000,000. Victory party for veterans,guess who was going to throw it!Ex Sen.and now prisoner Ney.

Regardless of record, who do you think is having the slowest start on the football field?

McCain moves ahead of Obama in new poll
Republican presidential candidate John McCain jumped slightly ahead of rival Democrat Barack Obama among U.S. voters according to a new poll, benefiting from his party's convention and a rousing speech by his vice presidential pick Sarah Palin.
Cheney: Nothing stopping Palin from doing job
The vice president "loved" Palin's convention speech, which he watched "with great interest" Thursday morning during a visit to Baku, Azerbaijan.
Newsweek: Has GOP found its innner feminist?
Can You Say ‘Sexist’? If you're a Republican, you'd better learn. The right wing that trashed the women's movement has suddenly finds its inner feminist.
New Yorker: The price McCain pays
With the selection of Sarah Palin, McCain completes the job of defusing the enmity (and forgoing the honor) he earned in 2000, when he condemned Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as “agents of intolerance.”
New roles for Olbermann, Matthews
MSNBC is replacing Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as co-anchors of political night coverage with David Gregory, and will use the two newsmen as commentators.
