McConnell Pledges No Government Shutdown
Taegan Goddard's Political Wire

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) "tried to quash talk that he would allow another government shutdown if he becomes Senate majority leader next year," CNN reports.

Said McConnell: "Of course not. Remember me? I am the guy that gets us out of shutdowns."

Brian Beutler: "He's threatening to use the appropriations process as leverage to extract concessions. That's a government shutdown fight. And no matter how he plays it, he will unleash forces he and other GOP leaders have proven incapable of restraining."

FWIW, i think Mark Pryor will keep his seat. Close race but think he'll pull it out.
This is a small, insignificant state where folks value seniority and experience. Cotton is charismatic in his own downhome way, but his utter inexperience looms over him. Alot, though, will depend on black voter turnout, and this has been slightly trending down for years. Demographics--the younger generations can't be bothered.
