Mitch McConnell has made his name by accomplishing two things: 1) Shepherding judicial nominees through the Senate confirmation process, and 2) Stonewalling progressive legislative initiatives. He has accomplished these two things in the face of a relentless drumbeat of vilification--often from both liberals and conservatives--and by persuading Republican senators to close ranks. That's a job a bit akin to herding cats.
