It is time, as a result of the elections, to push Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky out of the leadership of the Republican minority in the US Senate!
The person to replace him, and to give the GOP hope for change in image and substance, is Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
A rare moderate, a woman who has never missed a vote, who is a truly principled, but also rational and reasonable Republican, and of course a woman, there is no better choice for the Republican future than Susan Collins as the spokeswoman for Republican Senators.
She would be able to work with the White House, and negotiate in a fair, balanced way, and she would engender great respect on both sides of the aisle.
The old, tired leadership of Mitch McConnell is ripe for retirement, from leadership now, and hopefully from the Senate when McConnell comes up for reelection in 2014. He represents the past, not the future!
