Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has clashed with Rand Paul, was quick out of the gate to diffuse any tension by releasing this statement following Paul’s Senate victory:
“For nearly two years, Kentuckians have said they want their government to focus on jobs and the economy. And at every turn, President Obama and Washington Democrats have ignored the people, and pursued their own left-wing agenda. Tonight, Kentucky voters sent a strong message to Washington by electing Dr. Rand Paul to the United States Senate. His message of reining in outrageous Washington spending and the overreaching policies of the Obama Administration resonated throughout the state. Senator-elect Paul ran a great campaign, and I am excited to have him as my colleague in the Senate next year to help us stop this crippling agenda.”

Although I and the elite leadership in the Republican Party are still doing everything we can to garrote Sarah Palin, and did everything we could to sabotage you Rand Paul, hey, that was just politics and we have your safety cubicle ready for you. Now, we're not trying to tell you what do, but just take it easy for awhile so you can't be accused of being a right wing extremist. There aren't many Republicans who can handle being called that, and you'd be a first, and in politics that's dangerous. We've got some good staff ready for you so don't fret about that issue. They'll help guide you through the initial steps of learning to reach across the aisle although no one has ever reached back. So let's let bygones be bygones and if we don't include you in the leadership at first remember how it works up here. By the way we're going to make you look good by throwing several earmarks your way, and if you need any advice right off the bat at compromising your principles touch base with Scott Brown who has already endorsed race and gender based preferences. In short, you've entered a new club where you're expect to get your teeth kicked in by those who are your political allies. Don't take it personally. All the drama makes it easy to raid the U.S. Treasury while pretending it's all being done "for the sheeple." Haha. That's a little inside joke. By the way don't refer to Sarah Palin too much. She has more cajones then the lot of us and we'd like to see her fade away as soon as possible. Just let us know how much you want in earmarks and we'll get right on it.
