Alan: If there's a difference between garden variety Republicans and the clinically insane, it's that very few of the clinically insane are sociopathic.
The tide has turned on Obamacare approval ratings. If the current trajectory continues through November -- and I believe approval will rise even more steeply -- the Democrats are well poised to hold the Senate and take back the House.

McConnell on Obamacare enrollment hitting 7 million: We don't know how many of those have paid, calls ACA a "catastrophe"

I'm thinking that all those Kentuckians who were previously uninsured, but now havecoverage, might not agree with that.
Obamacare has cut Kentucky's uninsured population by more than 40 percent, signing up roughly 360,000 residents since enrollment opened up on Oct. 1, according to theLouisville Courier-Journal.
Some 75 percent of them—270,000—were previously uninsured. That means Kentucky's uninsured population of 640,000 has come down by 42 percent.
That's right, Mitch! You tell those 360,000 newly insured people that they're a catastrophe. That'll go over real well.
