Joe Miller: Mitch McConnell open to government shutdown
In an interview with the National Review, Alaska GOP Senate candidate Joe Miller said that if Republicans take over in November, they might shut down the government.
"I think there's an understanding that the mood of the nation has changed in such a way that there is not going to be toleration of business as usual. If that means shutting down the government, so be it. I mean, we'll do what it takes," he says. "I think that we will have enough like-minded people coming into D.C. that we're actually going to be able to accomplish something."
