WHAS newsman Mark Hebert had a great story on Charlie Owen's recent trip to Washington, D.C. where he reportedly met with national leaders to build support for a U.S. Senate race against Mitch McConnell. Hebert reported:
"WHAS 11 news has learned Louisville businessman Charlie Owen is meeting Thursday with U.S. Senate leader Harry Reid and Senator Charles Schumer of New York. Owen's political advisor says that the three men will discuss the prospect of Owen running against Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell next year."
Mitch McConnell is clearly scared for his political life, as Hebert went on to say:
"One Republican source close to McConnell says background checkers from the Republican Senate Campaign Committee are already on the ground in Arizona and Kentucky, checking Owen's business dealings."
