Senator mcconnell is notorious for, first off, hes not campaigning much. Its hard to find him, hard to see him, hard to ask him a question, so this is giving regular people a chance to ask him a question. It is; obviously, delivering information that people need to know about his record, but without the usual harsh attack ad with the figger in somebody finger in somebodys face. Tell us about the fire truck that was behind us. Us. We shot these in small towns in kentucky and we found that location. So its really trying to capture a little piece of kentucky americana. Pod here todd you told us that a piece of spending not that there was a spending ceiling but there was an effective ceiling.
