Lt. Dan Gives You Another Check-Up

February 3rd, 2010 · 2 Comments

Here’s Daniel Mongiardo’s second hee haw internet videuh:




Highlights: old ladies, teevee guys who have extreme facelifts, awkward headsets, a map, fun pauses, interesting struggles to read a statement about Wall Street, and a glaring exclusion of the fact that Kentucky is not part of Washington’s plan for rail expansion – a $250,000 study won’t change that.

And in his email blast announcing the videuh, Lt. Dan said this about campaign finance:

Thanks to you, we closed the books on 2009 having raised $1.5 million – more money than we raised during the entire 2004 campaign when we came within one point of defeating Jim Bunning and pulling off one of the greatest upsets in Kentucky political history.
 
When this race began, the Washington establishment insiders touted Attorney General Jack Conway as the only Democrat who could raise the money necessary to compete and win in 2010. However, for the last six months of the year, we have out raised him in Kentucky and out raised him among small dollar contributors by a whopping three-to-one margin. 

I guess it’d be unfortunate to mention that Jack Conway has outraised him by hundreds of thousands of dollars (nearly a milliion, I think) and is leading him in the latest polling.
