	Meet the New Boss - Zachary Roth & Cliff Schecter
		McConnell arrived with an attractive blonde on his arm (he would later marry Elaine Chao, now the Secretary of Labor), then proceeded, calmly and methodically, to lay out for the assembled reporters his plan to win a U.S. Senate seat in 1984 by using a socially conservative message and hard-hitting TV advertising.
		But McConnell followed his plan to the letter: To make the point that Huddleston was not spending enough time in the Capitol, McConnell ran TV ads that showed bloodhounds sniffing around Washington trying to pick up the senator’s scent, and ended with a shot of Huddleston’s name plaque visible on his unoccupied Senate desk.
		McConnell understood at the time that many GOP senators feared the end of soft money but were afraid of the negative publicity that opposing McCain’s crusade would bring.

		MCCONNELL: Look, what we know for sure, largely as a result of the terrific work of Senator Graham and Senator DeWine, is that there's 60 votes in the Senate who believe that there will be -- who can control, that there will be no filibusters except under extraordinary circumstances.
		MCCONNELL: The way to look at it, Chris, is the average time from nomination to confirmation historically has been 72 days.

	Tales of Asia - Mitch McConnell
		US Senator Mitch McConnell, a Republican from the state of Kentucky, has long since been a strong critic of Cambodia PM Hun Sen and the CPP government.
		As the United States demands the world to recognize the results of the 2000 election and the leadership that now heads the nation, it is only fair to afford the same rights to the people of Cambodia in their 2003 election.
		Perhaps the Senator should understand that the international community agrees that the need for stability precedes the need for a better democracy and that it takes time to transform what was not long ago a country run by one the most brutal regimes of the 20th century into a functioning, free and fair democracy.

	NRO Staff on Mitch McConnell on National Review Online
		But McConnell is aiding and abetting an ongoing Republican nightmare, as he helps prop Trent Lott up to be a punching bag for the Democrats and to continue his sell-out apology tour.
		That McConnell is Lott's friend increases his obligation to tell Lott the truth: that he probably can't win this fight and that, even if he could, it wouldn't be worth it, not if he cares about the GOP.
		The conventional wisdom has been that McConnell is well positioned in any Lott succession struggle, since he has demonstrated his loyalty (apparently the foremost Senate value) over the last week.
