Tea Party pushes back against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell

Article
This is more based on our discussion last week but I thought it was an interesting read, and it includes campaign tactics, a PACs influence on these tactics, and the Tea Party. This article discusses comments recently made by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell regarding his Tea Party supported challenger and the Tea Party as a whole. Tea Party groups responded aggressively, and McConnell's campaign organizers realized he made a mistake in saying this; one of his spokeswomen commented that McConnell is actually a big fan of the Tea Party, and was actually attacking the Senate Conservatives Fund, a PAC that is allegedly more interested in attacking Republican's to raise money rather than "actual conservative governance".
