Even a Bad Election Cycle Has Some Upsides
On a summer’s eve three years ago, I received an e-mail from a friend of mine. It went something like this: “I’m at La Loma. On the night he kills immigration reform, Mitch McConnell is eating Mexican for dinner with his wife.”

Now, Capitol Hill denizens know that McConnell, the Senate minority leader, and his wife, former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, are regulars at La Loma, the popular eatery with the killer margaritas on Massachusetts Avenue Northeast. So the fact that he was there on the June night in 2007 when Senate Republicans, despite pressure from the Bush White House, decided to cast aside consideration of an immigration overhaul bill was probably just coincidence.

But the image was seared into the brain of my friend, who happens to be a top Hispanic Democratic operative. And it was certainly ironic, to say the least.

Well, today, the Kentucky Republican is preparing to eat crow. Perhaps this will bring my friend — and thousands of other Americans who have long feared or hated Mitch McConnell — some satisfaction.
