Everyone's favorite opponent of Clean Elections just broke [1]a Kentucky fundraising record, reporting $12.2 million in contributions for his Senate re-election bid. And from where is Sen. Mitch McConnell raising such massive sums? Why, from Wall Street, lobbyists, the coal industry and others [2] of course, and most of that money is coming from out of state [3]. It's going to be quite a line outside the Senator's door to get a return on investment for those millions.
