Alabama's controversial Senate candidate says he has spoken to McConnell about the tough race ahead

Butch Dill/APWASHINGTON — Roy Moore, the former Alabama State Supreme Court justice who is now the Republican nominee for Senate in the state's special election this December, said he spoke to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell after defeating the incumbent senator in the primary last month. At the Values Voter Summit on Friday, Moore said he has spoken to McConnell once, telling him that it would be a "hard campaign." Moore's aide then got testy with reporters and barred further questions before exiting the event space. A spokesperson for McConnell was not immediately available for comment. Moore routinely cited McConnell as a primary foe and obstacle to a more conservative agenda while on the campaign trail to defeat Sen.
