McConnell: "I prefer the news of that day to be what I’d like for it to be"

Mitch McConnell Wants Kentucky Senate Race to Focus on Obamacare Woes

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,



In a candid moment, McCOnnell told reporters that was all that he wanted to discuss at Tuesday's press conference even in the face of polling numbers that show his popularity waning and that the Kentucky race is tightening.

"I’m probably not going to be answering questions about anything else, but I’m happy to respond to questions about Obamacare," McConnell said. "As some of you have complained from time to time that I don’t do a stake out after every event and I’m not going to do a stake out after every event because as you can imagine I prefer the news of that day to be what I’d like for it to be rather than what you all may be interested in pursuing."
