Can we post stuff about the House races here, too?

The Democrat running against Barr in CD6, Joe Palumbo, dropped his bid at the end of last week.

Hat tip to RRH. Probably expected, but FreedomWorks endorses Bevin.

The NRA endorses McConnell.

Wow. Bevin speaking at a hearing in favor of cockfighting. Bevin tries to plead ignorance, but the evidence against him is pretty obvious.

And McConnell is already on the offense. One of his super PACs has a $560K buy.

McConnell suggests he'd shut down the government if he were Majority Leader:
