Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Though much has been made about Democrats' positioning on Obamacare as 2014 approaches, it may be Republicans that face more hurdles in the early parts of the campaign.

In seven of eight Senate races the incumbent senator facing a serious or semi-serious primary challenger is a Republican. That's in contrast to incumbent Democrats. In the eight races just one includes an incumbent Democrat with a primary challenger.

That Republican-on-Republican tension is evident with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (KY) campaign. McConnell faces a primary challenge from Kentucky businessman Matt Bevin and has also taken criticism from the Senate Conservatives Fund. In response McConnell has called a recent Senate Conservatives Fund attack "profoundly stupid" and he also reportedly "lit into" a conservative challenger in Nebraska for his ties to the group.



Should be interesting to watch.
