Sen. McConnell says he’s in the ‘most difficult’ reelection bid of his career
By Aaron Blake
June 22, 2007

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is “facing the most difficult reelection campaign” of his career, or at least that’s what he’s telling his political supporters.

McConnell, who has yet to draw a major opponent, sent a fundraising letter characterizing his 2008 reelection bid as a battle against “radical national liberal organizations” and calling himself one of the top Democratic targets in the country.

The letter was posted this week to a blog dedicated to drafting another Republican, former gubernatorial nominee Larry Forgy, to run against him in a primary.

McConnell decried the efforts against him by Americans United for Change, an anti-war group that he said “is funded by big labor union bosses” and “has already spent six figures running attack ads against me for fighting terrorism.”
