Lunsford Makes Me Laugh
« The Problem With Judicial Races | Main | Solving Our Energy Dependency Problem: Oil Shale »Lunsford makes me laugh. Here was his quote regarding McConnell's ability to raise $15 million dollars.
Democratic Senate candidate Bruce Lunsford says Sen. Mitch McConnell's $15 million campaign war chest is obscene. Lunsford says if he had to raise $15 million to get reelected to the Senate in Kentucky, he'd quit and go search for another job.
He complains that would never work as hard as McConnell to keep his job, but yet he would spend how many millions of his own money to get the job in the first place? He has already put $1 million of his own money into the campaign and if previous campaigns are any indicator he will probably drop another $10 million on the campaign.
And when you add the unknown millions that will be spent by outside interest groups to see McConnell defeated, it is no wonder McConnell has had to raise so much money for his campaign.
The amusing thing about it all is that Lunsford is going around trying to sell himself as a "man of the people" while he spends millions to buy an election. He is a much a man of the people as I am a multi-millionaire.
