They couldn't find one Dem who would run against him... even if only to bolster name recognition for challenging for the other Senate seat when it comes up or some high state level office.

The more places we make Moscow Mitch have to spent his foreign Super PAC money the better.

I can't figure it out, but Cotton must have really had something on Josh Mahoney. Mahoney is from an old money Democratic family from my home town.
