McConnell would be an excellent choice!
I recall when he presided over the Senate committee that addressed Bob Packwood's sexual misconduct. McConnell insisted that all the meetings be closed to the public.
The media screamed "Good Ole Boy Network" and blasted McConnell for the wrist slap they just knew his committee would give a fellow Republican Senator.
The Committee had Packwood removed from the Senate. That's the way political leaders are supposed to behave. Rather than preening before the cameras, get to the bottom of the situation and make the right decision!
McConnell has shown excellent leadership skills and has been steadfast regarding his conservative principles.
My only complaint is his support for the Sense of the Senate measure that asked the Bush Administration to explain his war policies to the Senate on a regular basis. That doesn't sound so bad now. But, given the political climate at the time, it was rightly percieved as a vote of no confidence for the President at a crucial time.
I'm still mad about that!
But I would support McConnell for Senate leader. It's time for strong Republican leadership. Wishy-washiness has gotten us worse than nowhere. We're actually losing ground.
