Progressive Democrats have been hoping to see a showdown between Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton for years. Instead, they're getting a public feud between the senator from Massachusetts and President Barack Obama.

If the Democrats think the 2014 election was bad, just wait.

Mitch McConnell visits Briggs and Stratton factory in Murray, Kentucky and only 40 of the 1000 employees attended. Television stations and newspaper crews were reportedly not allowed access to the event.

Alison Lundergan Grimes has a real chance to defeat Mitch McConnell in the general election but, assuming Mitch McConnell doesn’t become embroiled in a scandal, she’ll need every vote she can get to beat him. However, progressive Independent senatorial candidate Ed Marksberry might have just enough pull to keep her from winning.

Watch as Kentucky Senatorial Candidate Allison Lundergan Grimes calls out Senator Mitch McConnell on his aversion to raising the state's minimum wage.

In Kentucky, it can be difficult to find out where Mitch McConnell is going to be speaking. Team Mitch keeps that sort of information close to the vest. However, Mitch McConnell loves to brag about meeting with folks after the fact. Even when the meetings are closed to the public — or held for an audience arguably held captive.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has undoubtedly been the face of opposition and obstructionism on the Senate's side of Congressional ineptitude. It's often said he is one of the most out-of-touch members of the Senate — and apparently his daughter would agree. After injecting his daughters into his re-election campaign, a little research yielded a whole lot of liberal causes.

Before the generic was released, people with high cholesterol paid as much as $205 for a 30-day prescription to Lipitor. The generic now costs them just $18 each month. The pay-for-delay tactic used by big pharmaceutical companies to keep generic drugs off the market earned them as much as $98 billion in total sales of just 20 name-brand drugs last year, according to a U.S. PIRG report.

Every year, nearly three million infants die within the first month of their life — with over a third of these tragedies occurring on the first day. It's a familiar statistic that many would rather ignore, but in the same Save the Children report comes a surprising new bit of data: Among industrialized nations, the United States has the highest rate of first-day infant mortality.
