Hillary Clinton's busy midterm campaign schedule carried her to Kentucky on Wednesday, where she headlined a rally in support of Alison Lundergan Grimes, the Democrat taking on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky.
Clinton, a former U.S. secretary of state, lauded Grimes as a "vigorous, intelligent, determined young woman," saying Kentucky voters have a "stark choice" to make.
"Do you want politics in Washington, in the Congress, to look the same for the next six years? Because more than any other race in the country, this election in Kentucky is a referendum on the future," she said. "It is a chance to say no to the guardians of gridlock and yes to government that actually delivers results for working people."
Clinton repeatedly blamed McConnell for much of the partisanship that has paralyzed Washington during the Obama years, citing the sequester spending cuts and last year's government shutdown.
"Do you really want to see more of that kind of leadership in Washington?" Clinton asked. "If you don't, if you want a different approach, then you know what you must do -- you must send Alison to Washington to get the place in order to deliver for the people of Kentucky."

Non-lawmakers present Newt Gingrich
During the four hour meeting:
The senior GOP members plotted to bring Congress to a standstill regardless how much it would hurt the American Economy by pledging to obstruct and block President Obama on all legislation.
These Republican members of Congress were not simply airing their complaints regarding the other party's political platform for four long hours. No, these Republican Congressional Policymakers, who were elected to do 'the People's work' were literally plotting to sabotage, undermine and destroy the U.S. Economy.
