Progress Kentucky is a super PAC that is acting more like a rogue operation in its efforts to unseat Kentucky Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell -- sending out racially sensitive tweets and allegedly making a secret recording of the Senate minority leader’s re-election strategy talks.

The group has been around only since December, raising about $1,000 and spending $18, compared to the McConnell campaign that has raised $10 million toward 2014 re-election efforts, according to recent Federal Election Commission filings.

Kentucky Democrats have over the past week made numerous, overt efforts to separate their party from Kentucky Progress and its questionable activities.

The group is supposedly behind secret taking of McConnel -- aka Watergate style tactics.

But I guess Watergate style tactics are okay if you are a liberal Democrat...

If they got rid of McConnell, they’d only be doing us a great favor.

You obviously don’t have a clue about Kentucky politics. Kentucky is a Democrat state. We are very, very fortunate to have McConnell here. Those of us who are conservatives would love to have another Rand Paul but that is not what we have. Rand Paul is bringing McConnell around, slowly. McConnell has done good although we all know there is much room for improvement, it could be much worse.
