Friendly. Backslapper. That is not his style. He is direct and he will tell you what he feels and what he thinks but he is going to do it on his terms about what he wants to say and how he wants to say it. It is very important, he is a very precise man. This was a precision race that he ran. You guys wrote an article back in november. One of the things you have any is that he could have spent as much as 50 million . He was preparing for that and by the end of it, with the outside groups, and probably exceeded that on the republican side. There was a republican outside group, kentuckians for strong leadership, which ended up pummeling the airwaves with attack ads against Alison Grimes, the democrat, and matt bevin, the republican. What that allowed mcconnell to do was run a very a series of very focused ads that highlighted the Positive Side of Mitch Mcconnell.

It is time to go in a new direction. [applause] it is time to turn this country around. [cheering applause] manu raju, when you interviewed Mitch Mcconnell, what was he like . It was the most complex race of a 30 year career. He was attacked right off the bat, he had his first primary challenge. He had democrats that made him the top target. He knew that going in. Mcconnell is a guy who looks around corners, and he had planned for four years this campaign. That started in 2010, right after he saw what happened at the republican primary at rand paul. Rand paul beat mcconnells handpicked guy in that primary. At that point, mcconnell realized, i have to recalibrate everything i know about republican primary politics in my home state. He started to make changes and hired key staff and started to build a very sophisticated infrastructure, knowing this would be the most difficult race in his campaign.

The fire spread quickly and started the Fire Department personnel were overwhelmed. Buildings on either side started to go up in the flames. Already the buildings were starting to go. The above officers entered the building to evacuate more students and even some in the adjacent building. Approximately 150 residents were evacuated from the buildings through the smoke and haze. The ceilings bubbling, and the heat from the bookshelves were still smoldering when they exited the building. Many of the residents were asleep, and where they were in mortal danger. If they have not been opened, there would have suffocated and many would have passed away in the fire. Upon conferring with the fire chief, i learned there where no deaths in the fire, no serious injuries. We credit the actions of these officers for saving many lives and that fire. When i was a li
