Secret Tape from Mitch McConnell Campaign Meeting

David Corn as the story of the day in Mother Jones Secret Tape: McConnell and Aides Weighed Using Judd's Mental Health and Religion as Political Ammo.

"Later that day, [Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell] was huddling with aides in a private meeting to discuss how to attack his possible Democratic foes, including actor/activist Ashley Judd, who was then contemplating challenging the minority leader. During this strategy session—a recording of which was obtained by Mother Jones—McConnell and his aides considered assaulting Judd for her past struggles with depression and for her religious views."

So there was some early campaign strategy meeting and they considered a bunch of things. I can't get too worked up on that actually. The fun part is the reaction to the story after it leaked. Nothing on the actual content, everything about how the tape was obtained and how his opponents will stop at nothing (kinda amusing considering the content of the meeting).
