Just What Kentucky Democrats Need: Another "Militant Moderate"

Sigh.

Joseph Gerth at the Courier:

A University of Louisville communications professor is the latest Democrat to announce he will challenge U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in the 2014 election.

Greg Leichty, who has been on U of L’s faculty since 1991, said he believes he can win next year’s Democratic primary against the current field of candidates and would serve as “part of the vetting process” for Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes if she enters the race.

“I’m a militant moderate,” Liechty said.

So far, Louisville music promoter Bennie J. Smith and Owensboro contractor Ed Marksberry have said they will enter the Democratic primary to challenge McConnell, a Republican. Several other Democrats — including former Miss America Heather French Henry, environmental lawyer Tom FitzGerald and Lexington lawyer Bill Garmer — have said they are considering the race.

Help us, teabagger crazies dying to primary RINO Mitch; you're our only hope.
