Defeat of an arch foe of clean government is in reach

I am delighted with the encouraging news that McConnell Leads, But Under 50

Even though he has one of the largest political war chests for his upcoming Senate campaign, Senator minority leader McConnell is polling with surprisingly low margins relative to his potential opponents. The Senator is perhaps the most prominent champion of special interest influence and his retirement would be an opportunity to advance the reform of campaigns and elections.

While the presidential campaign is exciting and entertaining I maintain that focusing our resources on the Senate and House campaigns will do much more to advance the public policies the GOP has been successful in thwarting: Renewable Energy, Immigration reform, Clean Elections, Climate Change, Universal Health Care, etc. And while I am not officially a Democrat I believe that the mistakes they make do far less harm than do those of the GOP.
