By deciding to work with Democrats, McConnell became the latest Republican to show a willingness to risk the ire of tea partyers by making the pragmatic decision rather than the ideologically pure one. Earlier this week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stopped fighting legal gay marriage in his state, angering parts of the GOP's conservative base but endearing him to others across the political spectrum.

"In the midst of a double-barreled re-election fight, Mitch McConnell is earning praise back home from some unlikely corners for brokering the deal that ended the partial government shutdown and averted a potential default on U.S. debt.
"He did yeoman's work making sure this thing got fixed," said Owensboro tobacco farmer Rod Kuegal, a Democrat.


Remind me again, what's the point of this article? to praise McC for getting happy democrats?

Yeah, that's it. McC has pleased a lot of Obama supporters by compromising. Everyone knows that "good" Republicans are supposed to compromise when the call for bipartisanship by the Dems is made.
