Buck Might Not Back McConnell

The Hill reports:

Ken Buck joined several other Republican Senate candidates aligned with the Tea Party movement who haven't yet signed onto supporting McConnell as the party's top official in the Senate.

"You know, I'm going to make that decision when we get there," Buck said on the Fox Business Network when asked if he'd be supporting McConnell for leader. "I am not going to try to guess who's running and who's not running."

The Colorado conservative isn't the only possible member of next year's Senate Republican Conference to duck on the question of whether he'd support McConnell. Joe Miller, the GOP candidate in Alaska, has said that he'll "wait and see what happens" before deciding who he'll support as leader, while Delaware Republican Christine O'Donnell said she doesn't know who she'd support.

One Tea Party-backed candidate, Kentucky's Rand Paul (R), said he'll support McConnell, though not after having equivocated on the question for some time.
